“…HHV-8 infection in infants during the 12-month postdelivery study period was associated with the mother's employment status and inversely associated with the mother's being a homemaker. The significance of this association is not currently known, but a similar observation was reported in relation to KS incidence [38]. HHV-8 infection may follow a pattern similar to that of other infectious agents, in which transmission is more likely in urban settings where large numbers of people are continually interacting with others, compared with rural settings with limited personal contacts, as suggested by other researchers [14,26,39].…”

“…Environmental factors, such as volcanic soil exposure (Montella et al, 1997), bloodsucking insects (Ascoli et al, 2003), and past history of malaria (Cottoni et al, 1997) have been investigated, but with inconsistent findings. Our results, on the other hand, suggest a parallelism with epidemic African and AIDS-related cases (Ziegler et al, 1997), in which a higher socioeconomic status has been considered as a marker for either enhanced exposure to sexually transmitted agents, including HHV8, or delayed expression of a childhood infection.…”

“…These results could be indicative of wider social dynamics related to the trajectory of the HIV epidemic in India. In the early phases of the HIV epidemic in sub-Saharan Africa, seroprevalence was high among women from better-off backgrounds (Ziegler et al 1997;Cleland et al 1999;Kirunga and Ntozi 1997). A survey conducted on pregnant women attending an antenatal clinic between 1989 and 1990 in Malawi demonstrated that having a relatively affluent socioeconomic status was a "risk factor" (Dallabetta et al 1993).…”

Previous research indicates that the majority of HIV-positive women in India were infected by their husbands, their only sexual partner, which makes them difficult identify as a high-risk population. This paper seeks to assess social factors associated with the transmission of HIV based on demographic determinants, such as age; sexual behavior; and gendered discrimination, such as domestic violence.Research for this paper consists of secondary statistical analysis of the National Family Health Survey, which collected quantitative data on demographic and socioeconomic determinants for analysis of healthcare, domestic abuse, and emerging health issues. As most participants were tested for HIV as part of the survey, it provides regional estimates of HIV serostatus for the general population in India.Results from the bivariate analyses indicate that for the female participants, socioeconomic status has an association with serostatus, as HIV-positive women were significantly (p<0.001) more likely to have a low level of education than their HIV-negative counterparts. Unexpectedly, female HIV-positive respondents displayed low tendencies toward high-risk sexual behavior, as less than 10% had two or more sexual partners in their lifetime. Finally, they were significantly more likely to have previously...
