Table 1. Average attributable fractions due to specific interactions (percentage of annual HIV incidence among female sex workers (FSWs) due to interactions with HSV-2).
Best-fit attributable fraction (95% confidence intervals from all fits) |

Specific interaction |
% of HIV incidence among FSW due to
specific interaction with HSV-2 |
All interactions combined | 35.5 (22.2-62.5) |
Increased susceptibility and infectivity of HIV in the presence of asymptomatic HSV-2 shedding alone | 32.4 (20.4-59.5) |
Increased susceptibility and infectivity of HIV in the presence of symptomatic HSV-2 recurrences alone | 3.0 (1.4-4.3) |
Increased susceptibility to HIV among HSV-2-infected FSWs | 24.6 (11.2-46.7) |
Increased infectivity of HIV from coinfected clients* | 10.4 (2.3-32.5) |
Includes implicitly the static effect on HIV transmission of the increased HSV-2 symptomatic recurrence rate among coinfected clients
