HIV-1 Incidence Rates and Risk Factors in Agricultural Workers and Dependents in Rural Kenya: 36-Month Follow-Up of the Kericho HIV Cohort Study

Abstract

HIV-1 incidence rates were relatively low in adult plantation workers and dependents in rural Kenya. Cohorts including higher risk populations (eg, commercial sex workers) warrant consideration for regional HIV preventive vaccine trials. Even low incidence, well-described cohorts generate valuable epidemiological clinical trial data.
