| Description | Data from baseline surveys and STI/HIV laboratory tests (n=615 men) were used to examine correlates of bacterial ulcers (Treponema pallidum, Haemophilus ducreyi, or Chlamydia trachomatis L1-L3 detected in ulcers) and acute HSV-2 ulcers (HSV-2 positive ulcer specimen, HSV-2 sero-negative, and negative for bacterial pathogens) versus recurrent HSV-2 ulcers (seropositive), separately. Men with bacterial ulcers had larger ulcers compared to men with recurrent HSV-2 ulcers, but were less likely to be HIV-positive; whereas, men with acute HSV-2 ulcers were younger with fewer partners. Acute HIV was higher among men with bacterial and acute HSV-2 ulcers; however, this difference was not statistically significant. | |
