- AB OBJECTIVE--To determine HIV-1 incidence and HIV-1 associated mortality
- in a prospective cohort study. To determine whether the cohort is
- suitable for studies aiming to determine the impact of interventions on
- HIV-1 incidence. METHODS--The study population was a cohort of 1772
- urban factory workers (1478 men and 294 women) in northwest Tanzania.
- The study took place from October 1991 to September 1993. Outcome
- measures were HIV-1 seroconversion and death. RESULTS--HIV-1 incidence
- was 1.2 (95% CI 0.7-2.0) per 100 person-years (pyr). Crude annual
- mortality was 4.9 per 100 pyr in those with and 0.3 in those without
- HIV-1 infection, giving an age and sex adjusted mortality ratio of 12.9
- (95% CI 5.4-30.7). Of all deaths, 62% were attributable to HIV-1
- infection. CONCLUSION--HIV-1 infection was a major public health
- problem, being the major cause of death in this adult population. At an
- HIV-1 incidence of 1.2 per 100 pyr, a large cohort size would be
- required to evaluate the impact of interventions on HIV-1 incidence.
