Abstract
Igugu_main_study_data_PLOS Medicine:In this paper, we report on the results of an acceptability, feasibility and prevalence study of home-based sampling for STI/BV among young men and women aged 15-24 years old in the Africa Health Research Institute (AHRI) health and demographic surveillance site (DSS) in rural KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. A total of 1342 young people, stratified by age (15-19 and 20-24 years) and sex were selected from the HDSS sampling frame, and 447 were enrolled (70% of those contacted). Participants were interviewed and blood, self-collected urine (men) and vaginal swabs (women) were tested for herpes simplex virus type-2 (HSV-2), chlamydia, gonorrhoea, trichomoniasis, and BV. Further details on study methods are available in the published work. The dataset provided here is the main analytical dataset for the study. It is a de-identified dataset for the 477 study participants, with only the variables necessary to replicate the analysis presented in the paper. To preserve confidentiality, we report ages in 5-yr intervals, all dates are removed, and education has been recoded into 2 categories. A dummy identification number has been added (i.e. not the actual study ID).

In this paper, we report on the results of an acceptability, feasibility and prevalence study of home-based sampling for STI/BV among young men and women aged 15-24 years old in the Africa Health Research Institute (AHRI) health and demographic surveillance site (HDSS) in rural KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. A total of 1342 young people, stratified by age (15-19 and 20-24 years) and sex were selected from the HDSS sampling frame, and 447 were enrolled (70% of those contacted). Participants were interviewed and blood, self-collected urine (men) and vaginal swabs (women) were tested for herpes simplex virus type-2 (HSV-2), chlamydia, gonorrhoea, trichomoniasis, and BV. Further details on study methods are available in the published work.
The dataset provided here is a supplementary dataset containing information on the 1342 young people who were sampled. It is a de-identified dataset with only the variables necessary to replicate the analysis presented in Supplementary Table 1 in the paper. To preserve confidentiality, we report ages in 5-yr intervals, all dates are removed, and education has been recoded into 2 categories. A dummy identification number has been added (i.e. not the actual study ID). The dataset was constructed using information collected in the annual survey of the AHRI HDSS; the survey data and full documentation are available on the AHRI data repository.
