Sexual transmission of beneficial microbes
Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2015Beneficial sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are an understudied phenomenon with important implications for the evolution of cooperation and host reproductive behavior. Challenging the prevailing expectation that sexual transmission leads to pathogenesis, these symbionts provide new opportunities to examine how STIs might influence sexual ...

HIV-1 transmission occurs in a limited number of ways all of which are preventable. Overall, the risk of HIV-1 transmission following a single sexual exposure is low especially in comparison with other sexually transmitted infections (STIs); with estimates of the average probability of male to female HIV-1 transmission only 0.0005-0.0026 per coital act.

Cytomegalovirus: Import of Sexual Transmission
Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology, 1983This article reviews available evidence regarding the transmission of cytomegalovirus (CMV) and concludes that sexual transmission--if it occurs at all--is medically and epidemiologically insignificant. The great majority of CMV infections primary or recurrent are completely asymptomatic and must be regarded as clinically inapparent entities.

Sexual transmission of HCV between spouses
Journal of Hepatology, 2003The sexual transmission of hepatitis C virus (HCV) is debated. By excluding other risk factors, the role of sexual intercourse in the transmission could be detected more accurately. We screened HCV prevalence and risk factors in the spouses of chronic hepatitis C (CHC) patients and followed the seroconversion rate of anti-HCV negative spouses.Six ...

Sexually transmissible diseases and travel
British Medical Bulletin, 1993Sexually transmissible diseases (STDs) continue to be the most common notifiable infectious conditions worldwide. Their unacceptably high incidence is underlined by the recent emergence of a (presently) incurable and lethal STD, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, which merits its description as a pandemic, and with which other STDs interact ...
