Children's symptom and social functioning self-report scales. Comparison of mothers' and children's reports.

Journal ArticleDOI

Young people's sexual health in South Africa: HIV prevalence and sexual behaviors from a nationally representative household survey

TL;DR: The high HIV prevalence among young people in South Africa and, in particular, young women's disproportionate risk is confirmed, indicating programs for youth must continue to promote partner reduction, consistent condom use and prompt treatment for sexually transmitted infections while also addressing contextual factors that make it difficult for them to implement behavior change.
Journal ArticleDOI

Relative resistance to HIV-1 infection of CD4 lymphocytes from persons who remain uninfected despite multiple high-risk sexual exposure.

TL;DR: A cohort of 25 subjects with histories of multiple high–risk sexual exposures to HIV–1 found that their CD8+ lymphocytes had greater anti–HIV–1 activity than did CD8+, and their purified CD4+; lymphocytes were less susceptible to infection with multiple primary isolates of HIV-1 than were CD4+.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sexual practices and risk of infection by the human immunodeficiency virus. The San Francisco Men's Health Study.
