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].

Biological context of Sexual Abstinence

Postpartum sexual abstinence time can be safely shortened for most patients when episiotomy repair is done meticulously with fine PGA suture on small needles [6].

Associations of Sexual Abstinence with chemical compounds

Semen analysis in fertile patients undergoing vasectomy: reference values and variations according to age, length of sexual abstinence, seasonality, smoking habits and caffeine intake [7].

Gene context of Sexual Abstinence

Results demonstrated significant difference in the decisional balance variable among virgin adolescents in the precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, and action stages of sexual abstinence using ANOVA testing [8].
