Schistosoma mansoni infection has been associated with HIV risk; this association might be causal or mediated through shared socio-behavioral factors. In adult Ugandan women (n=58) we found that prevalent schistosomiasis was inversely associated with age (OR 0.910, p=0.047), marriage (OR 0.263, p=0.030), injectable hormonal contraceptive use (OR 0.121, p=0.002) and recent sex (trend, OR 0.350, p=0.064). These findings have implications for the design and interpretation of studies assessing S. mansoni-HIV interaction.
