Uganda’s HIV Prevention Success

The paper by Green et al. (vol. 10, this issue, AIDS and Behavior). on "Uganda's HIV Prevention Success" concludes that "a decline in multipartner sexual behavior" is the most likely explanation for the declines in HIV prevalence. However, this article neither addresses the inconsistencies in the available behavioral data, nor considers epidemiologic factors that may affect HIV prevalence. The latter include the fact that prevalence is a product of incidence and duration of infection (i.e., time from infection to death), and incidence is affected by infectivity per coital act that varies with the stage of disease, the number of sexual contacts, and the duration of exposures (i.e., sexual relationships). We thus consider additional factors which may have affected the history of HIV in Uganda and discuss data quality and consistency as well as epidemiologic issues
