Control of sexually transmitted diseases for AIDS prevention in Uganda: a randomised community trial

TL;DR: In the Rakai population, a substantial proportion of HIV-1 acquisition appears to occur independently of treatable STD cofactors, and in pregnant women, the follow-up prevalences of trichomoniasis, bacterial vaginosis, gonorrhoea, and chlamydia infection were significantly lower in the intervention group than in the control group.
Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI
