Journal ArticleDOI
Bacterial vaginosis and HIV acquisition: A meta-analysis of published studies
TL;DR: Bacterial vaginosis was consistently associated with an increased risk of HIV infection, and high bacterial vaginotic prevalence may result in a high number of HIV infections being attributable to bacterialvaginosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Trichomonas vaginalis infection in male sexual partners: implications for diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.
Arlene C. Señea,William C. Miller,Marcia M. Hobbs,Jane R. Schwebke,Peter A. Leone,Heidi Swygard,Julius Atashili,Myron S. Cohen +7 more
TL;DR: The majority of male partners of women with trichomoniasis were infected; however, few factors predicted infection, necessitating vastly improved partner management, application of sensitive nucleic-acid based testing, and better clinical recognition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measuring additive interaction using odds ratios
Linda Kalilani,Julius Atashili +1 more
TL;DR: The extent to which three measures of additive interaction – the interaction contrast ratio, the attributable proportion due to interaction (AP), and the synergy index (S), estimated using odds ratios versus using risk ratios differ as the incidence of the outcome of interest increases in the source population and/or as the magnitude of interaction increases is evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Risk factors for acute respiratory infections in children under five years attending the Bamenda Regional Hospital in Cameroon
Alexis A. Tazinya,Gregory Halle-Ekane,Lawrence Mbuagbaw,Martin Abanda,Julius Atashili,Marie Therese Obama +5 more
TL;DR: The proportion of ARI is high and is associated with HIV infection, poor maternal education, exposure to wood smoke, passive cigarette smoking, and contact with persons having a cough, which means control programs should focus on diagnosis, treatment and prevention of ARIs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Methods for Detection of Trichomonas vaginalis in the Male Partners of Infected Women: Implications for Control of Trichomoniasis
Marcia M. Hobbs,Dana Lapple,Lisa F. Lawing,Jane R. Schwebke,Myron S. Cohen,Heidi Swygard,Julius Atashili,Peter A. Leone,William C. Miller,Arlene C. Sena +9 more
TL;DR: The majority of male sexual partners in this study were infected, emphasizing the importance of partner evaluation and treatment and reliable detection of T. vaginalis in male partners required multiple specimens.
