| Abstract | The study was conducted to determine the prevalence, incidence, and risk factors for HIV infection among factory workers at two sites in Ethiopia. In February 1997_December 2001, a structured questionnaire was used for obtaining information on sociodemographics, sexual behavior, and reported sexually transmitted infections (STIs) from a cohort of 1,679 individuals. Serum samples were screened for antibodies against HIV, Treponema pallidum haemagglutination (TPHA), and herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2). The overall baseline prevalence of HIV was 9.4%__8.5% among males and 12.4% among females. For both the sexes, the factors independently associated with an increased risk of HIV infection were widowhood and having had antibodies against TPHA and HSV-2. The risk factors specific for males were being orthodox Christian, having had a higher lifetime number of sexual partners, and genital discharge in the past five years. The risk factors for females, included low income, one or more rape(s) over a lifetime, and casual sex in the last year. The overall incidence of HIV infection was 0.4 per 100 person-years. The highest rate of incidence was observed among young women aged less than 30 years (1 per 100 person-years). The study confirmed that high-risk sexual behavior and STIs play major roles in the spread of HIV infection in the Ethiopians of both sexes. |

| Description | The prevalence, incidence, and risk factor of HIV infection data set is a prospective cohort study among 1679 factory workers in Akaki and Wonji. The data set addresses the prevalence and incidence of factory workers in Akaki and Wonji. In this study, serum samples were screened for antibodies against HIV, Treponema pallidum haemagglutination (TPHA), and herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) for participants enrolled in the study. The cohort study data set provides full information on how sociodemographic characteristics of both sexes were independently risky factors for HIV infection. In general, This prospective cohort study data provides information and evidence on the prevalence, incidence, and risk factors of HIV infection among factory workers. |
