I am translating a document about HIV research

If participants tested positive for any STI at any assessment visit, they were considered an incident STI case for that visit. HIV testing was repeated at the 12-month follow up assessment using OraQuick and OraSure assays.

agree  Tina Vonhof: I think 'case' in this context refers to the person. Compare 'X cases of flu', which means 'X people having the flu'.
