Transmitting through time: monitoring HIV transmission rates in rural Tanzania

Monitoring and understanding HIV infection rates over a period of time requires detailed data, not restricted to any one social group. Such detailed data is only available for a few developing country populations. This study focuses on a rural population in the Mwanza region of Tanzania, during the period between 1994 and 2000. Results suggest that the district HIV prevention programme has had little impact on sexual behaviour.
