Cervical secretions from 14 women seropositive for HTLV-III/LAV were obtained between days 7 and 21 of the menstrual cycle and cultured for virus. HTLV-III/LAV was isolated from cervical secretions in 4 of 14 women, as well as from blood of 7 of 13 women tested. Female genital secretions may therefore be a source for sexual transmission of the virus to men.
在月经周期的第7至21天,从14名HTLV-III/LAV血清反应阳性的女性身上获取宫颈分泌物并进行病毒培养。在14名女性中的4名的宫颈分泌物中分离出了HTLV-III/LAV,在接受检测的13名女性中的7名的血液中也分离出了该病毒。因此,女性生殖分泌物可能是该病毒向男性进行性传播的一个来源。
