The sera were tested at 3 collaborating laboratories for antibodies against HIV-1, Treponema pallidum, Haemophilus ducreyi, Chlamydia trachomatis and herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and type 2 (HSV-2). A sample of 45 children were tested for HSV-1 and HSV-2.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Seroprevalence rates in adults on enrolment were 7.8% for HIV-1, 10.8% for active syphilis, 10.4% for H. ducreyi, 66.0% for C. trachomatis, 91.2% for HSV-1 and 67.9% for HSV-2. Males were significantly more likely than females to be seropositive for H. ducreyi (15.6% versus 6.6%), but less likely to be HSV-2 antibody positive (57.0% versus 74.4%). Reactivity to H. ducreyi, C. trachomatis and HSV-2 rose with increasing age. In contrast, active syphilis showed no age trend. All STDs tended to be more common in those HIV-1 seropositive. Incidence rates over the 12 months were nil for HIV-1, 0.5% for syphilis, 1.2% for H. ducreyi, 11.3% for C. trachomatis, and 16.7% for HSV-2.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>The results of this exploratory study indicate that all STDs included are common in this rural population. The high HSV-2 prevalence rate among adolescents suggests that HSV-2 may be an important risk factor for HIV-1 infection. HSV-2 serology may be a useful tool to monitor sexual behaviour interventions in young people.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/095646249400500509","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,1,13]],"date-time":"2017-01-13T21:48:26Z","timestamp":1484344106000},"page":"332-337","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":50,"title":["Seroprevalence and Incidence of Sexually Transmitted Diseases in a Rural Ugandan Population"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"5","author":[{"given":"H U","family":"Wagner","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical Research Council (UK) Programme on AIDS in Uganda, Entebbe"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"E","family":"Van Dyck","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology, Prince Leopold Institute of Tropical Medicine, Antwerp, Belgium"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"E","family":"Roggen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Microbiology, Prince Leopold Institute of Tropical Medicine, Antwerp, Belgium"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A J","family":"Nunn","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical Research Council (UK) Programme on AIDS in Uganda, Entebbe"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"A","family":"Kamali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical Research Council (UK) Programme on AIDS in Uganda, Entebbe"},{"name":"Uganda Virus Research Institute, Entebbe"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"D Scott","family":"Schmid","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Viral Exanthems and Herpesvirus Branch, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, Georgia, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J G","family":"Dobbins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Viral Exanthems and Herpesvirus Branch, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, Georgia, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"D W","family":"Mulder","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Medical Research Council (UK) Programme on AIDS in Uganda, Entebbe"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1994,9,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-095646249400500509","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2105\/AJPH.77.4.479"},{"key":"bibr2-095646249400500509","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.1988.03410100119036"},{"key":"bibr3-095646249400500509","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(89)90589-8"},{"key":"bibr4-095646249400500509","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00002030-199001001-00016"},{"key":"bibr5-095646249400500509","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/infdis\/163.2.233"},{"key":"bibr6-095646249400500509","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00002030-199301000-00015"},{"key":"bibr7-095646249400500509","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00002030-199311000-00009"},{"key":"bibr8-095646249400500509","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00002030-199401000-00013"},{"key":"bibr9-095646249400500509","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00002030-199308000-00005"},{"key":"bibr10-095646249400500509","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/infdis\/157.5.1039"},{"key":"bibr11-095646249400500509","unstructured":"Van Dyck E, Piot P.
