microbicides development program, tanzania-baseline characteristics of an occupational cohort and reattendance at 3 months.to determine baseline characteristics of an occupational cohort of women in mwanza city, tanzania, and factors associated with reattendance at 3 months, in preparation for a microbicide trial.200717717482
new information on the risks of hiv transmission in mwanza, tanzania. 200616845639
empirical observations underestimate the proportion of human immunodeficiency virus infections attributable to sexually transmitted diseases in the mwanza and rakai sexually transmitted disease treatment trials: simulation results.population attributable fractions (paf) from observational studies may under- or overestimate the contribution of cofactor sexually transmitted disease (std) to human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) spread. empirical paf estimates from the mwanza and rakai trials indicated the proportion of hiv infections attributable to stds was higher in mwanza than rakai.200616778738
higher risk behaviour and rates of sexually transmitted diseases in mwanza compared to uganda may help explain hiv prevention trial outcomes.to determine to what extent the higher impact of treatment for sexually transmitted diseases (std) on hiv incidence in mwanza, tanzania than in rakai and masaka, uganda might be explained by baseline differences between the trial populations.200314685060
geographical variations in the prevalence of hiv and other sexually transmitted infections in rural tanzania.the prevalence and incidence of hiv and other sexually transmitted infections (stis) were recorded in two lake-island and eight rural mainland communities in mwanza, tanzania. the prevalence and incidence of hiv and syphilis were lower on the islands, but this pattern was not seen for herpes simplex virus type-2, gonorrhoea, chlamydia, male urethritis or antenatal prevalences of trichomonas vaginalis. island men reported fewer sexual partners than mainland men but no differences were found for w ...200312716499
comparison of std prevalences in the mwanza, rakai, and masaka trial populations: the role of selection bias and diagnostic errors.to assess bias in estimates of std prevalence in population based surveys resulting from diagnostic error and selection bias. to evaluate the effects of such biases on std prevalence estimates from three community randomised trials of std treatment for hiv prevention in masaka and rakai, uganda and mwanza, tanzania.200312690128
std/hiv intervention and research programme mwanza region, nw tanzania.the social determinants and epidemiology of sexually transmitted disease (std) were studied in rural communities in mwanza region, tanzania, in the context of the phase specific model of std transmission. the prevalence of hiv and syphilis was higher in communities close to main roads, and lower in communities living on islands in lake victoria, probably reflecting the proportion of high risk individuals in the population. the prevalence of herpes simplex virus type 2 infection, gonorrhoea, chla ...200212083452
antibody to herpes simplex virus type 2 as a marker of sexual risk behavior in rural tanzania.a serosurvey was conducted in a random sample of 259 women and 231 men in 12 rural communities in mwanza region, tanzania, using a type-specific elisa for herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv-2) infection. seroprevalence rose steeply with age to approximately 75% in women >=25 years old and 60% in men >=30. after adjusting for age and residence, hsv-2 prevalence was higher in women who were married, in a polygamous marriage, treponema pallidum hemagglutination assay (tpha)-positive, had more lifetim ...19999841817
herpes simplex virus type 2 infection increases hiv incidence: a prospective study in rural tanzania.to quantify the association between prevalent or incident herpes simplex virus type-2 (hsv2) infection and the incidence of hiv seroconversion among adults in the general population in rural tanzania.200211834958
