Definitions

1. Risk for HIV transmission was highest among couples who resumed sexual activity before wound healing was complete.

Transmitting Hiv

1. Bite injuries represent another potential means of transmitting HIV. However, HIV transmission by this route has been reported rarely (80-82).

Article

1. Your article sends a dangerous public health message that circumcision prevents HIV transmission.

Groups

1. Circumcision will not affect HIV transmission in these groups.
2. By tracking newly acquired infections in both groups, investigators discovered that circumcision cut HIV transmission rates by 55 to 65 percent.

Findings

1. The findings, reported in the journal AIDS, come as the CDC is developing new recommendations on circumcision for reducing HIV transmission.

High Rate

1. Contributing factors to high rate of HIV transmission among the communities of Lilongwe District in Malawi.

Further Research

1. The mode of HIV transmission remained obscure until further research revealed a probable nosocomial infection during early childhood in Romania.

Sexual Intercourse

1. Sexual intercourse is the major mode of HIV transmission.

Gay Men

1. A spokesman for the National Aids Trust said the findings were not so relevant in the West, where the vast majority of HIV transmission was between gay men.

Sexual Contact

1. Sexual contact is the most common route of HIV transmission.

Lowest Rates

1. Why is it that countries with the lowest rates of HIV transmission also have the lowest rates of neo-natal circumcision.

Sexual Practices

1. Evidence shows that some sexual practices are associated with a greater risk of HIV transmission than others.

Men

1. Another problem is that the overwhelming majority of HIV transmission in the United States is between men who have sex with other men.
2. OBJECTIVE: Determine whether male circumcision would be effective in reducing HIV transmission among men who have sex with men (MSM).

Hpv

1. However, given the high prevalence of HPV infection in women, further investigation of the role of HPV in HIV transmission is warranted.

Sexual Partners

1. Modest increases in the number of sexual partners could negate the protective effect and increase the rate of HIV transmission in a community.

Medical Community

1. The possibility that circumcision reduces HIV transmission remains the subject of ongoing research and debate in the medical community.

Male Circumcision

1. In 2006, researchers released the results of three large studies that measured the effect of male circumcision on HIV transmission from female to male.
2. There is debate on the role of male circumcision in HIV transmission.
3. AIDS 1992;6(12):1521-8. [ PubMed] Changedia SM, Gilada IS. Role of male circumcision in HIV transmission insignificant in conjugal relationship (abstract no.

Prevention

1. Male circumcision for prevention of HIV transmission: what the new data mean for HIV prevention in the United States.
2. Recommendations for prevention of HIV transmission in health-care settings.
3. Male circumcision may also have a role in the prevention of HIV transmission in the United States.

Researchers

1. Other researchers have contested the findings which indicate that circumcision reduces HIV transmission.
2. Researchers said the results suggest increased HIV transmission from men who have sex before they had properly healed.
3. Researchers in Australia have been conducting several studies to assess the impact of circumcision on HIV transmission.

Rct

1. The earlier observational studies and the recent RCT all suggest that MC will have a long-term, population-level impact on HIV transmission.

Rcts

1. These RCTs, which studied HIV transmission among adults in Africa, cannot be used to support the practice of non-therapeutic circumcision of children.

Risk

1. Previously studies have shown that male circumcision reduces the risk of HIV transmission by 60 percent.
2. Based on the scientific evidence discussed in this chapter, Table 2 classifies sexual practices by their level of risk for HIV transmission.
3. Sexual assault typically has multiple characteristics that increase the risk for HIV transmission if the assailant is infected.

Uncircumcised Men

1. The Uganda study found 43 cases of HIV among the uncircumcised men, compared with 22 among the circumcised men -- a 48% reduction of HIV transmission.

Africa

1. The literature from which the report on circumcision and HIV transmission was based came from 27 studies in Africa.
2. In Africa, the vast majority of HIV transmission is through heterosexual intercourse, and the findings of the African studies apply in that context.
3. Studies supporting circumcision to reduce HIV transmission had all been done in Africa and U.S. studies were less clear.

Female Circumcision

1. The resolution also said female circumcision increases the risk of HIV transmission, as well as maternal and infant mortality.

Rakai

1. Stochastic simulation of the impact of antiretroviral therapy and HIV vaccines on HIV transmission; Rakai, Uganda.

Condoms

1. I can see straight teenagers (the group with the largest increase of HIV transmission) now having sex without condoms because they are circumcised.
2. Condoms have been shown to be effective at preventing HIV transmission.

Circumcision

1. There is no evidence that circumcision increases or decreases the risk of HIV transmission by HIV-infected men.
2. Circumcision would only "reduce the risk of HIV transmission by 60%," whereas condoms reduce it by 95%.
3. Circumcision, particularly pre-pubertal circumcision, has been associated with lowered risk of STD and HIV transmission.

Hiv Transmission

1. Circumcision in HIV-infected men and its effect on HIV transmission to female partners in Rakai, Uganda: a randomised controlled trial.
2. Quinn says, because circumcision reduces the risk of HIV transmission, researchers hoped it might do the same for HPV and genital herpes.
3. Now, researchers have studied the effect of circumcision on HIV transmission from seropositive men to seronegative women in rural Uganda.
