We conducted a prospective study among women in Mombasa, Kenya, to determine whether Trichomonas vaginalis infection was associated with an increased risk of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection. At monthly follow-up visits, laboratory screening for HIV-1 and genital tract infections was conducted. Among 1335 HIV-1-seronegative women monitored for a median of 566 days, there were 806 incident T. vaginalis infections (23.6/100 person-years), and 265 women seroconverted to HIV-1 (7.7/100 person-years). Trichomoniasis was associated with a 1.52-fold (95% confidence interval, 1.04-2.24-fold) increased risk of HIV-1 acquisition after adjustment for potential confounding factors. Treatment and prevention of T. vaginalis infection could reduce HIV-1 risk in women.
我们在肯尼亚蒙巴萨的女性中开展了一项前瞻性研究,以确定阴道毛滴虫感染是否与1型人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV-1)感染风险增加相关。在每月的随访中,对HIV-1和生殖道感染进行实验室筛查。在1335名HIV-1血清阴性的女性中,中位监测时间为566天,有806例阴道毛滴虫感染(23.6/100人年),265名女性HIV-1血清转化(7.7/100人年)。在对潜在混杂因素进行调整后,滴虫病与HIV-1感染风险增加1.52倍(95%置信区间为1.04-2.24倍)相关。阴道毛滴虫感染的治疗和预防可降低女性感染HIV-1的风险。
