In this study, we examine the demographic and lifestyle risk factors associated with less frequent coitus among infertile couples. Methods This cross-sectional study examined infertile couples actively trying to conceive, selecting them from patients seeking fertility treatment. Demographic data and lifestyle factors such as age, occupation, smoking status, and body mass index were recorded. Participants self-reported the frequency of vaginal-penile intercourse per week and month. Descriptive statistics and binary logistic regression analyses were used to analyze the data and identify predictors of SIF. Results Our study included a final sample size of 790 couples. In univariate binary logistic regression, women's age (OR: 0.948; 95% CI 0.928-0.969), men's age (OR: 0.957; 95% CI 0.937-0.977), duration of marriage (OR: 0.927; 95% CI 0.903-0.952), and duration of infertility (OR: 0.928; 95% CI 0.898-0.960) were found to be significant factors. Additionally, men's smoking was negatively associated with SIF, with an odds ratio of 0.732 (95% CI: 0.578-0.928, P =0.010). Conclusions We observed that younger female partner age and shorter duration of marriage independently emerged as significant predictors associated with higher SIF. Our study highlights the need for tailored counseling and education based on age and marital stage. Older couples may benefit from specialized support such as sexual therapy and stress management. The negative impact of men's smoking on sexual intercourse frequency underscores the importance of effective smoking cessation programs.

As a result, the available data pertaining to GAS are often based on convenience samples, and the majority of published studies in the US are cross-sectional. Transgender people may undergo GAS to align their bodies with their gender identities. There has been little emphasis on the GAS self-evaluated experience. GAS may be associated with improved quality of life in transgender people. This study aimed to analyze the functionality of transgender patients' genitals following vaginoplasty. Methods A total of 306 transgender patients responded to a validated survey for patient-reported feminizing GAS outcomes. Surveys were given to patients prior to GAS, and then 2weeks, 6months and 12months postoperatively. Pre- and post-GAS responses were compared using McNemar and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests. Self-identified race/ethnicity was available for all survey participants. All participants voluntarily took the same survey by using the same survey platform to eliminate bias. Results Five questions showed significant improvement between the 2-week and 6-month responses. These questions assessed if respondents had sensation in their clitoris (P =0.031), the frequency that clitoral stimulation was pleasurable (P =0.018), the presence of sexual activity in the past 3months (P P =0.031) and if labial irritation while walking or exercising decreased (P =0.051). Significant differences were not detected between the 6-month and 12-month responses for any of the survey questions. Conclusions The results of five different metrics regarding sexual activity and vaginal functioning showed a significant improvement for transgender people following GAS. Findings also similarly demonstrate a high success rate of sexual activity after GAS. These are significant patient-reported outcomes using tools validated for the transgender population. Respondent outcomes significantly improved between the 2-week and 6-month time period, but did not differ between the 6-month and 12-month period, suggesting the ideal time to assess the above-described patient-perceived outcomes with vaginoplasty is 6months postoperatively.</p>","PeriodicalId":22165,"journal":{"name":"Sexual health","volume":"22 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143067910","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Understanding awareness and the determinants of these beliefs is crucial for developing educational programs to reduce HPV-associated cancers. This study explored awareness and determinants of beliefs about HPV's carcinogenicity among SMM living with and without HIV in Nigeria. Methods Participants were recruited through secure social media platforms in Abuja, Nigeria. REDCap surveys captured demographics, sexual practices and participants' beliefs regarding HPV's role in cancer. Multivariable logistic regression modeling was used to estimate adjusted odds ratios (aOR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for the relationships between individual characteristics and belief levels stratified by those living with and without HIV. Results Of 982 participants, the median age was 29years (interquartile range: 26-34); 64.1% were living with HIV, and 9.7% believed HPV causes cancer. Awareness was highest for anal (82.1%) and penile cancers (15.8%) and less so for oropharyngeal and female HPV-associated cancers (range: 3-7%). Anogenital warts increased the odds of awareness for SMM living with HIV (aOR: 6.4, CI: 3.0-13.6) and for individuals without HIV (aOR: 4.8, CI: 1.6-14.2). Living with HIV for over 6years was independently associated with a two-fold increased knowledge about HPV's carcinogenicity (aOR: 2.1, CI: 1.1-4.1).

We explored gonorrhoea testing patterns and management of gonorrhoea infection in general practice. Methods We analysed de-identified electronic medical record data for individuals who attended 73 Australian general practices (72 in the state of Victoria) between January 2018 and December 2020. The 'care cascade' model was utilised to explore gonorrhoea detection and management. Descriptive analysis and logistic regression were used to investigate factors associated with gonorrhoea testing, treatment and retesting. Results During the study period, there were a total of 1,027,337 clinical episodes. Of these, 5.6% (n =57,847, 95% confidence interval [CI] 4.5-6.7) involved a gonorrhoea test and 1.1% (n =637, 95% CI 0.8-1.4) tested positive. Of the 637 gonorrhoea cases, 48.4% (n =308, 95% CI 29.8-67.0) had an Australian guideline-recommended dual antibiotic prescription (ceftriaxone and azithromycin) recorded. Of 329 cases without a dual antibiotic prescription, 84.2% (n =277, 95% CI 77.5-90.9) had reattended the clinic. Among the 206 gonorrhoea cases with dual antibiotic prescription recorded in 2018 and 2019, 32.0% (n =66, 95% CI 25.3-38.8) were retested from 6weeks to 6months post-treatment.

This research aims to identify key factors students see as contributing to non-consensual sex with a view to developing effective strategies to address these issues. Methods An online cross-sectional survey was administered to 4291 university students attending universities in south-east Queensland, Australia. Participants were recruited via email, print media, and face-to-face invitations. The survey contained closed and open-ended questions on a range of sexual health knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours, including non-consensual sexual experiences. A subset of students (n =199) who responded 'yes' to engaging in sexual acts against their consent were the primary participants for this paper. Descriptive statistical analysis and thematic analysis, employing the theory of planned behaviour, were conducted using the quantitative and qualitative data regarding non-consensual sex, respectively. Results Immediate and longer-term fear and partner eagerness were the most commonly identified influences on non-consensual sex. An inability to give consent due to lack of consciousness or intoxication were also frequently cited factors contributing to non-consensual sex. Conclusions Interventions acknowledging and addressing sociocultural factors are needed.

STIs remain at high rates among young people and can have serious reproductive consequences if left untreated. This study aimed to determine the preferences and motivations for partner notification among young people in Australia. Methods Quantitative and free-text qualitative data were collected through the 2024 Sex, Drugs and Rock 'n' Roll survey, an annual cross-sectional survey conducted among people aged 15-29years old in Victoria, Australia. Respondents were recruited using convenience sampling through social media advertisements. Counts and proportions were calculated for the preferences and motivations for partner notification by regular and casual sexual partners as well as methods of communication. Inductive content analysis was used to analyse free-text responses. Results The partner notification module of the survey was completed by 1163 people (60.3% identified as women, 40.2% as heterosexual) who provided a total of 1720 free-text responses. The majority, 1056 (90.8%) stated that they would notify their sexual partners and 1142 (98.2%) would want to be notified by a sexual partner of an STI risk. Qualitative analysis highlighted that respondents felt that partner notification is the responsible thing to do to look after their own and their partner's health and protect others by reducing transmission. Few stated that embarrassment and fear of repercussions may make them less likely to notify their partners or that it would depend on the type of relationship. Most preferred to notify regular partners face-to-face (941, 80.9%) and casual partners via text message (785, 67.5%).

However, treatment pathways from web-based services are often not well-coordinated, contributing to treatment delays and access gaps. This study investigated clinician perspectives on building service linkages with a new, web-based, STI testing service in Victoria, Australia. Methods We interviewed 16 clinicians from regional/outer metropolitan areas who are part of government-funded, primary care programs to strengthen sexual health services in Victoria. Interviews enquired about: clinician attitudes, considerations for managing referrals, compatibility with clinic systems, and broader policy/healthcare system factors. Results Clinicians were enthusiastic, perceived web-based services as complementary (not competition), and believed local treatment pathways were important for patient choice/access. They felt that administrative aspects of handling referrals from an online service could be managed without problems. To inform treatment, clinicians recommended that referral letters from the web-based service list all tests ordered, dates, and complete results. Tensions were raised regarding the utility and appropriateness of including treatment guidelines and pre-prepared prescriptions in referral letters. Respondents reported that most clinics did not stock injectable antibiotics, raising concerns by clinicians about potential treatment delays and privacy challenges related to patient-led procurement at pharmacies. Conclusions Our study suggests that clinicians are receptive to local treatment pathways being designed as part of web-based STI testing services, and strengthened service linkages could improve client access, particularly outside urban areas.

Abortion-related values and policies at the provider, organisational and legislative levels were the most common and salient determinants of POC access and quality. Quality POC includes non-directive, empathetic, compassionate discussions about all pregnancy options that convey non-judgement and respect. However, we identified provider, organisational setting, and legal level determinants that disproportionately impact access to POC for marginalised pregnant people.
