Evidence for Previously Unidentified Sexual Transmission of Protozoan Parasites
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2018 Knowing the mode of transmission of a disease can affect its control and prevention. Here, we identify 5 protozoan parasites with demonstrated presence in seminal fluid, only 1 of which has been identified as a sexually transmitted disease among humans.

Age differences between sexual partners, behavioural and demographic correlates, and HIV infection on Likoma Island, Malawi [PDF]
, 2016 Patterns of age differences between sexual partners-"age-mixing"-may partially explain the magnitude of HIV epidemics in Sub-Saharan Africa. However, evidence of age-disparity as a risk factor for HIV remains mixed.
