herpes simplex virus type 2 associated with hiv infection among new york heterosexuals living in high-risk areas.herpes simplex virus type 2 (hsv-2) has been shown to increase the risk of sexual human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) transmission. a matched case-control design was used to examine the association between hsv-2 and hiv infection among heterosexuals in 'high-risk areas' (hras) in new york city (nyc). we identified nyc hras using hiv surveillance data on heterosexual-related adult hiv diagnoses and usa census data on household poverty. heterosexuals who were socially or geographically linked to an ...201020975092
