| sexual violence, hsv-2 and hiv are important predictors for infertility in rwanda. | in order to formulate cost-effective health interventions aimed at preventing infertility it is necessary to identify modifiable risk factors for infertility in sub-saharan africa. this case-control study examined potential predictors and their population attributable fraction (paf%) for various infertility types including lifestyle factors, sexual behaviour and reproductive tract infections (rtis). | 2010 | 20685757 |
| male circumcision, sexually transmitted disease, and risk of hiv. | our objective was to describe associations among male circumcision, behavioral and demographic variables, ulcerative and nonulcerative sexually transmitted disease (std), and human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) infection via a cross-sectional study in kigali, the capital of rwanda. our subjects were 837 married men who volunteered for hiv testing and counselling. uncircumcised men had a relatively low-risk profile in that they reported fewer lifetime sexual partners and prostitute contacts than c ... | 1995 | 8548351 |
| role of nutritional status and weight loss in hiv seroconversion among rwandan women. | to investigate nutritional status and heterosexual human immunodeficiency virus (hiv) transmission, we performed a nested case-control study of sexually active, adult women in kigali, rwanda. forty-five women who seroconverted during the 24-month study period were compared to 74 women who remained seronegative throughout the study. seroconvertors and nonseroconvertors did not differ in preseroconversion serum levels of vitamin a, carotenoids, vitamin e, selenium, albumin, ferritin, or cholestero ... | 1993 | 8496790 |
