No test needed for hand-foot genital syndrome in women without HOXA13 gene mutation
Hugh S. Taylor, M.D., professor in the Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology & Reproductive Sciences at Yale, and colleagues have found that women without mutations of the HOXA13 gene do not need to be subjected to x-rays and other tests for a rare condition called hand-foot genital syndrome. view more (2009-10-20)
Cold sore virus increasing cause of genital herpes and 'strongly associated' with early start to sex
Genital herpes due to HSV-1 - the herpes simplex virus primarily associated with cold sores on the mouth - is strongly associated with an early start to sex, suggests research in Sexually Transmitted Infections.

FEMALE GENITAL SHEDDING OF HIV-1 POSES INFECTION RISK (pp 1564, 1593)
A study in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggests that heterosexual women with HIV-1-including those who have had successful antiretroviral therapy-are at risk of transmitting HIV to their sexual partners and newborn infants as a result of viral shedding in the genital tract. Plasma HIV-1 RNA concentration has been the best predictor for risk of... view more... (2001-11-07)
HIV-1-Positive Women At Increased Risk Of Genital Cancer
A study in this week's issue of THE LANCET suggests that women who are HIV-1 positive are at an increased risk of invasive genital cancer. Authors of the study recommend that gynaecological examination of these women should include examination of the vulva and perianal region to identify genital warts, which can lead to the development of invasive... view more...

The research, principally from the Communicable Disease Surveillance Centre of the Public Health Laboratory Service, shows that HIV and AIDS... view more... (2001-07-18)
Genital stimulation opens door for cryptic female choice in tsetse flies
By snipping off parts of male genitalia and reducing genital sensation in both male and female tsetse flies, researchers induced a suite of changes in female reproduction, including reduced ovulation, reduced sperm storage and increased re-mating attempts by the females. view more (2009-05-15)
Hormone drug linked to increased prevalence of male genital disorder (pp 1081, 1102)
Results of a Dutch study in this week’s issue of THE LANCET highlight how a male genital disorder could be more common among boys born to mothers who were prenatally exposed to a synthetic hormone withdrawn in the late 1970s. The drug diethylstilbestrol (DES) was previously prescribed to prevent spontaneous abortion and preterm delivery. DES... view more... (2002-03-27)
