Figure Prevalences of sexually transmitted infections by subgroups of men and women aged 18–29 years from the general population, in all FSWs, and in age-adjusted FSWs Age-adjusted data for FSWs aged 18–29 years were weighted for comparison with women from the general population. FSW=female sex worker. HSV2=herpes simplex virus 2. *HSV2 testing was done with a subset of sera available, and thus city prevalences of seropositivity are further weighted accordingly. †Rapid plasma reagin 1:8 or higher, Treponema pallidum particle agglutination positive.
