Journal ArticleDOI
Rates of HIV-1 Transmission per Coital Act, by Stage of HIV-1 Infection, in Rakai, Uganda
Maria J. Wawer,Ronald H. Gray,Nelson K. Sewankambo,David Serwadda,Xianbin Li,Oliver Laeyendecker,Noah Kiwanuka,Godfrey Kigozi,Mohammed Kiddugavu,Tom Lutalo,Fred Nalugoda,Fred Wabwire-Mangen,Mary P. Meehan,Thomas C. Quinn,Thomas C. Quinn +14 more
TL;DR: The rate of HIV transmission per coital act was highest during early-stage infection, which has implications for HIV prevention and for projecting the effects of antiretroviral treatment on HIV transmission.
Journal ArticleDOI
Probability of HIV-1 transmission per coital act in monogamous, heterosexual, HIV-1-discordant couples in Rakai, Uganda
Ronald H. Gray,Maria J. Wawer,Ron Brookmeyer,Nelson K. Sewankambo,David Serwadda,Fred Wabwire-Mangen,Tom Lutalo,Xianbin Li,Thomas C. VanCott,Thomas C. Quinn,Thomas C. Quinn +10 more
TL;DR: Higher viral load and genital ulceration are the main determinants of HIV-1 transmission per coital act in this Ugandan population.
Journal ArticleDOI
Control of sexually transmitted diseases for AIDS prevention in Uganda: a randomised community trial
Maria J. Wawer,Nelson K. Sewankambo,David Serwadda,Thomas C. Quinn,Noah Kiwanuka,Chuanjun Li,Tom Lutalo,Fred Nalugoda,Charlotte A. Gaydos,Lawrence H. Moulton,Saifuddin Ahmed,Ronald H. Gray,Lynn Paxton,Fred Wabwire-Mangen,Mary Meehan +14 more
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
Domestic violence in rural Uganda: evidence from a community-based study
Michael A. Koenig,Tom Lutalo,Feng Zhao,Fred Nalugoda,Fred Wabwire-Mangen,Noah Kiwanuka,Jennifer A. Wagman,David Serwadda,Maria J. Wawer,Ronald H. Gray +9 more
TL;DR: Analysis of risk factors highlights the pivotal roles of the male partner's alcohol consumption and his perceived human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) risk in increasing the risk of male against female domestic violence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Age differences in sexual partners and risk of HIV-1 infection in rural Uganda.
Robert Kelly,Ronald H. Gray,Nelson K. Sewankambo,David Serwadda,Fred Wabwire-Mangen,Tom Lutalo,Maria J. Wawer +6 more
TL;DR: The age difference between young women and their male partners is a significant HIV risk factor, suggesting that high HIV prevalence in younger women is caused, in part, by transmission from older male partners.
