RE: st: Coding for multiple visits data

A case is someone who has TWO successive study visits with 0 RNA. However, the way the data is currently coded means the person's entire case history is 1 or 0, instead of just at the visit when the person transitions.I'm including the data again, to indicate how ID 1 should be case=0 till visit 5 with visit 6 being case=1. That is, person 1 is a non-case till visit 6, when he changes.
Looks like:
ID visit RNA case
1 1 1 1
1 3 1 1
1 5 0 1
1 6 0 1
1 7 0 1
2 1 1 0
2 2 1 0
2 3 1 0
2 4 1 0
Want it to look like:
ID visit RNA case
1 1 1 0
1 3 1 0
1 5 0 1
1 6 0 1
1 7 0 1
2 1 1 0
2 2 1 0
2 3 1 0
2 4 1 0
