Sexual Risk Behavior in HIV-Uninfected Pregnant Women in Western Uganda
Our aim was to identify sexual risk behavior among HIV-negative pregnant women in Kabarole District, Uganda, by conducting a cross-sectional study among 1610 women within three healthcare settings.

In multivariate analysis, predictors of sexual risk behavior includ…

We retrospectively followed-up data of a cohort of treatment-eligible ANC clients in Mbeya Region, Tanzania by retracin…

Individual perspectives and experi…
