Rates of HIV-1 transmission within marriage in rural Uganda in relation to the HIV sero-status of the partners
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To assess the efficacy of transmission of HIV-1 within married couples in rural Uganda according to the sero-status of the partners. DESIGN: Estimation of HIV incidence rates for 2200 adults in a population cohort followed for 7 years comparing male-to-female with female-to-male transmission and sero-discordant with concordant sero-negative couples. METHODS: Each year, adults (over 12 years of age) resident in the study area were linked to their spouses if also censused as resident. The HIV sero-status was determined annually. RESULTS: At baseline 7% of married adults were in sero-discordant marriages and in half of these the man was HIV-positive. Among those with HIV-positive spouses, the age-adjusted HIV incidence in women was twice that of men (rate ratio (RR) = 2.2 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.9-5.4) whereas, among those with HIV-negative spouses, the incidence in women was less than half that of men (RR = 0.4, 95% CI 0.2-0.8). The age-adjusted incidence among women with HIV-positive spouses was 105.8 times (95% CI 33.6-332.7) that of women with HIV-negative spouses, the equivalent ratio for men being 11.6 (95% CI 5.8-23.4). CONCLUSION: Men are twice as likely as women to bring HIV infection into a marriage, presumably through extra-marital sexual behaviour. Within sero-discordant marriages women become infected twice as fast as men, probably because of increased biological susceptibility. Married adults, particularly women, with HIV-positive spouses are at very high risk of HIV infection. Married couples in this population should be encouraged to attend for HIV counselling together so that sero-discordant couples can be identified and advised accordingly.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
