Previous reports have found that university students in Africa comprise a sexually active population, although the prevalence of HIV or sexually transmitted infections (STI) has not been measured. We conducted a cross-sectional survey of students from five large universities in Kampala, Uganda, using respondent-driven sampling. We asked students to complete behavioral questionnaires and provide biological samples to test for HIV,\n Chlamydia trachomatis<\/jats:italic>\n ,\n Neisseria gonorrhoeae<\/jats:italic>\n ,\n Treponema pallidum<\/jats:italic>\n ,\n Trichomonas vaginalis<\/jats:italic>\n , and bacterial vaginosis. We enrolled 649 students and obtained interpretable data from 640. Around 50% of the respondents were male, and the mean age was 22 years. An estimated 0.8% (95% CI 0.0\u20132.0) of male students had\n Chlamydia<\/jats:italic>\n infection, approximately 4.3% (95% CI 2.0\u20137.0) had syphilis, 0.4% (95% CI 0.0\u20130.9) had HIV, and none had gonorrhea. An estimated 32.6% (95% CI 22.4\u201340.8) of women had bacterial vaginosis, 2.5% (95% CI 0.7\u20136.3) had\n Chlamydia<\/jats:italic>\n infection, 1.7% (95% CI 0.5\u20133.6) had syphilis, 1.0% (95% CI 0.0\u20132.4) had gonorrhea, 0.9% (95% CI 0.0\u20134.2) had trichomoniasis, and 0.9% (95% CI 0.0\u20131.8) had HIV. We found no significant risk factors for HIV or other STI among males. We also found that not using a condom during the latest sexual intercourse was significantly associated with HIV infection, other STI, or bacterial vaginosis (OR 2.16; 95% 1.26\u20133.78) among females. We conclude that while university students are sexually active and there is substantial risk for syphilis, there is little evidence of substantially increased HIV risk among them.\n <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1515\/ijamh-2013-0515","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,5,21]],"date-time":"2014-05-21T08:49:47Z","timestamp":1400662187000},"page":"209-215","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["University students and the risk of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections in Uganda: The Crane Survey"],"prefix":"10.1515","volume":"26","author":[{"given":"George W.","family":"Rutherford","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Global Health Sciences, University of California, San Francisco, San Francisco, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Andrew","family":"Anglemyer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Global Health Sciences, University of California, San Francisco, San Francisco, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Danstan","family":"Bagenda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Public Health, Makerere University, Kampala, Uganda"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michael","family":"Muyonga","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ministry of Health, Kampala, Uganda"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Christina P.","family":"Lindan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Global Health Sciences, University of California, San Francisco, San Francisco, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Joseph L.","family":"Barker","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Global HIV\/AIDS, Center for Global Health, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, GA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lisa","family":"Johnston","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Global Health Sciences, University of California, San Francisco, San Francisco, CA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Wolfgang","family":"Hladik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"374","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,4,24]]},"container-title":["International Journal of Adolescent Medicine and Health"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/www.degruyter.com\/view\/j\/ijamh.2014.26.issue-2\/ijamh-2013-0515\/ijamh-2013-0515.xml","content-type":"text\/html","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.degruyterbrill.com\/document\/doi\/10.1515\/ijamh-2013-0515\/xml","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.degruyterbrill.com\/document\/doi\/10.1515\/ijamh-2013-0515\/pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,28]],"date-time":"2025-11-28T00:24:22Z","timestamp":1764289462000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.degruyterbrill.com\/document\/doi\/10.1515\/ijamh-2013-0515\/html"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2014,4,24]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"2","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,2,17]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2014,5,1]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1515\/ijamh-2013-0515"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1515\/ijamh-2013-0515","relation":{},"ISSN":["2191-0278","0334-0139"],"issn-type":[{"type":"electronic","value":"2191-0278"},{"type":"print","value":"0334-0139"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2014,4,24]]}}}
