研究人员在近期出版的《获得性免疫缺陷综合征》(AIDS)杂志上刊文指出,对未行包皮环切术的男性、甚至包括接受包皮环切术的男性而言,经常冲洗生殖器有助于减少HIV感染的风险。来自于英国伦敦Ealing医院的Nigel O’Farrell医生及其同事认为,男性包皮环切术与HIV感染发病率的降低关联,但改善生殖道卫生状况的干预措施现已被证实可有助于降低HIV感染的风险。 O’Farrell医生对此指出,男性包皮下的湿润状态有可能增加感染的风险,因此清洗阴茎并保持该部位的干燥状态可降低HIV感染的风险。共有386名居住在南非德班附近的未行包皮环切术的男性参加了该项研究;受试者均无生殖器溃疡或尿道流液。受试者的体检结果显示,约半数男性的龟头及冠状沟周围呈润湿状态,近80%的男性
In a recent issue of the Journal of Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS), the researchers pointed out that regular flushing of the genitals is helpful for men who have not undergone circumcision, including even men who undergo circumcision To reduce the risk of HIV infection. Nigel O’Farrell, MD, from Ealing Hospital, London, UK, and colleagues concluded that male circumcision was associated with a reduced incidence of HIV infection but that interventions to improve reproductive tract health have now been shown to reduce HIV The risk of infection. Dr. O’Farrell pointed out that men’s sub-foreskin wet conditions may increase the risk of infection, so washing the penis and keeping the area dry can reduce the risk of HIV infection. A total of 386 uncircumcised men living in Durban, South Africa, participated in the study; none of the subjects had genital ulcers or urethral fluid. The physical examination results of the subjects showed that about half of the men were wetted around the glans and the coronoid groove, and nearly 80% of the men
