HIV incidence and its associated factors among young adults with multiple sexual partners in Maputo, Mozambique: a vaccine preparedness study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Sub-Saharan Africa has a high burden of HIV, particularly among female sex workers (FSW) and men who have sex with men (MSM). Future clinical trials to evaluate vaccines and other interventions to prevent HIV will need to enroll populations with high HIV incidence. We conducted an observational study of HIV incidence among men and women with multiple sexual partners-including MSM and FSW-in Maputo, Mozambique, in order to prepare the country to conduct future efficacy trials of candidate HIV vaccines and other HIV prevention products.

Methods

We conducted a prospective observational HIV incidence study in Maputo, Mozambique, that enrolled adults aged 18-35 years, without HIV, who had two or more sexual partners in the preceding three months. Recruitment strategi
