The objectives of this study was to determine the prevalence of Gardnerella vaginalis and Atopobium vaginae in virginal women and to establish if nonpenetrative sexual activity is associated with these organisms.
The goal of this study was to assess prevalence of G. vaginalis and A. vaginae in virginal women.
Forty-four virginal female patients self-collected tampon specimens, which were tested for G. vaginalis and A. vaginae by polymerase chain reaction, and provided either brief or detailed information regarding sexual practices by self-administered questionnaire.
Twenty women (45%) had G. vaginalis and 3 (7%) A. vaginae detected. Among the 27 who provided detailed information, 12 (46%) had G. vaginalis and none had A. vaginae detected. G. vaginalis was significantly more likely to be detected in those who had participated in oral sex (odds ratio = 22; 95% confidence interval = 2.2-222) and hand-genital contact without penetration (P = 0.02), but not genital-genital contact.
This study shows that nonpenetrative intimate sexual contact is associated with carriage of G. vaginalis in virginal women.
本研究的目的是确定未发生性行为女性中阴道加德纳菌和阴道阿托波菌的流行情况,并确定非插入式性活动是否与这些微生物有关。
本研究的目标是评估未发生性行为女性中阴道加德纳菌和阴道阿托波菌的流行情况。
44名未发生性行为的女性患者自行采集棉塞样本,通过聚合酶链反应检测阴道加德纳菌和阴道阿托波菌,并通过自行填写问卷提供有关性行为的简要或详细信息。
检测到20名女性(45%)有阴道加德纳菌,3名女性(7%)有阴道阿托波菌。在提供详细信息的27名女性中,12名(46%)有阴道加德纳菌,未检测到有阴道阿托波菌的情况。在有口交行为的女性(比值比=22;95%置信区间=2.2-222)和有未插入式手-生殖器接触的女性中(P=0.02),阴道加德纳菌的检出率显著更高,但在生殖器-生殖器接触的女性中未出现这种情况。
本研究表明,未发生性行为的女性中,非插入式亲密性接触与阴道加德纳菌携带有关。
