[6] Viral load and heterosexual transmission of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 . The study concluded that viral load is the chief predictor of the risk of heterosexual transmission of HIV-1, and transmission is rare among persons with levels of less than 1500 copies of HIV-1 RNA per milliliter.
[7] Rates of HIV-1 transmission per coital Act, by stage of HIV-1 infection, in Rakai, Uganda .
[8] Probability of HIV-1 transmission per coital act in monogamous, heterosexual, HIV-1-discordant couples in Rakai, Uganda . The study established that higher viral load and genital ulceration are the main determinants of HIV-1 transmission per coital act in this Ugandan population.
[9] Control of sexually transmitted diseases for AIDS prevention in Uganda: a randomised community trial . The study found no effect of the STD intervention on the incidence of HIV-1 infection.
[10] Current status and future prospects of epidemiology and public health training and research in the WHO African region . The study recommended that capacity building and training initiatives in epidemiology are required to promote research and address the public health challenges facing the continent.
[11] HIV-1 infection associated with abnormal vaginal flora morphology and bacterial vaginosis.
[12] Increased risk of incident HIV during pregnancy in Rakai, Uganda: a prospective study.
