st: Calculating confidence intervals for the ratio of stratified standardised mortality rates

All
Apologies if this is a rather naive question but I hope someone can help me.
I have been calculating age/sex standardised mortality rates stratified by geographical areas I used dstdize for this in stata and it worked fine and gave me the standardised rates and importantly confidence intervals which I extracted from the relevant macros/matrices . For reference this is the command I used
dstdize total_hiv_tb_death population adj_cat, by(all_data) ///
using("C:\work\Research\Analysis\Paper1_mortality\stata\rates\std_pop_09_10.dta") level(90)
No I need to calculate the ratio between the standardised mortality rates in two time periods (i.e. from different separate dstdize commands ) and calculate confidence intervals for these mortality rate ratios .
Any help with how to do this in stata would be very much appreciated.
