Metrics of Mobility by Sex are Associated with HIV Incidence in Rural Kenya and Uganda.

ABSTRACT: The complex and dynamic nature of human mobility requires use of multiple measures and sex-stratified analyses to fully understand its influence on HIV acquisition risk in specific populations and settings. Longitudinal population-based studies designed to measure the influence of mobility (which includes both short and long-term, temporary and permanent changes of residence across defined geopolitical boundaries) on HIV acquisition risk are rare, but needed to understand the ongoing challenges that mobility poses to progress in ending HIV. Incidence of HIV acquisition over 3 years was measured in mobile and non-mobile adults in 32 rural communities in three regions of Uganda and Kenya participating in the Sustainable East Africa Research in Community Health (SEARCH) trial (NCT01864603) fr
