Objective: To describe the dynamics of HIV transmission in stable sexual partnerships in rural Tanzania.
Design: Retrospective cohort study nested within community-randomized trial to investigate the impact of a sexually transmitted disease treatment program.
Methods: A cohort of 1802 couples was followed up for 2 years, with the HIV status of each couple assessed at baseline and follow-up.
Objectives: First, to compare the prevalence of HIV infection among women in the general population and antenatal clinic (ANC) attenders in rural Mwanza, Tanzania, and second, to validate a method for adjusting HIV prevalence in ANC attenders to estimate the prevalence in the general female population aged 15-44 years.
Methods: A cross-sectional population survey was conducted in 12 rural communities of Mwanza Region between 1991 and 1992. From the same communities sequential ANC attenders were recruited on two occasions between 1991 and 1993.

Objective: To describe HIV incidence and HIV-associated mortality in a cohort of factory workers and their spouses with access to adequate sexually transmitted diseases (STD) treatment services and moderate exposure to sexual health interventions.
Methods: Follow-up visits at 4-month intervals and home follow-up of those who failed to keep appointments were used to estimate HIV incidence and mortality in a cohort of factory workers and their spouses in Mwanza, Tanzania, during 1991 to 1996.
Results: HIV prevalence at intake was 10.
Objective: To assess the spread of HIV into rural areas.
Methods: Since 1994 a demographic surveillance system (with 5-monthly rounds) and open adult cohort study have been established in a rural ward in Tanzania. Two sero-surveys of all resident adults aged 15-44 and 15-46 years were conducted in 1994 1995 and 1996-1997 respectively.
