High impact information on Sexual Abstinence

  • CONCLUSION: Sexual abstinence is the preventive strategy of choice for a majority of HIV-infected patients aware of their serostatus and consulting for care in Côte d'Ivoire [1].
  • No correlation was found between EGF concentration and age of donor, sperm count, sperm motility, or period of sexual abstinence before sample collection [2].
  • Sexual abstinence was found to be associated with feelings of hopelessness (t = 2.8, p < .01), diagnosis of AIDS (chi 2 = 11.3, p < .01), and lower CD4 count (t = -2.6, p = .01) [3].
  • OBJECTIVE: To compare the variability of sperm acrosin and hypoosmotic swelling to the more standard semen variables in relationship to controlled periods of sexual abstinence using a defined group of men [4].
  • In contrast, no EPF activity was found in sera obtained from women in whom fertilization was prevented, either by sexual abstinence or tubal ligation [5].
