Of the 1,383 participants who tested seronegative for HSV-2 at baseline, 36 (2.6 ) did not contribute person-time to incidence analyses because they were retrospectively found to be HIVinfected at baseline, tested seropositive for HSV-2 at the enrollment visit subsequent to screening, or were lost to f

Cial mechanisms. Connell's theory of gender and power has been shown previously to explain the gender effects in the spread of HIV/AIDS infection [11,12]. Sa and Larsen applied this theory in their study in Moshi, Tanzania, using gender inequality to explain women's risk of HIV infection [12]. In this study, we adopt Connell's theory of gender and power as a theoretical framework to explore and cl
