tor for STDs among adolescents and young adults, especially if they fail to use condoms correctly and consistently. Most teenagers do not have multiple concurrent sexual partners; however, because many adolescent relationships are of short duration, teenagers often have multiple sequential partners. Previous research has demonstrated that adolescents are more likely than adults to report having had multiple sexual partners in the recent past.4 Adolescent males are more likely than adolescent females to report multiple sexual partners and multiple concurrent partners.5 The number of lifetime sexual partners among adolescents is strongly related to the length of time since first coitus.6 Studies of primarily adult populations have identified several demographic markers for multiple sexual partners; younger age has consistently emerged as a risk marker. In the 1988 National Survey of Family Growth, among women 15–44 years old, risk factors for having more than one partner in the previous three months included having been young at first coitus, being younger than 30, being unmarried, John S.

Lens epithelium-derived growth factor (LEDGF)/p75 is a cellular cofactor for HIV-1 DNA integration. It is well established that the simultaneous binding of LEDGF/p75 to chromatin and to HIV-1 integrase is required for its cofactor activity. However, the exact molecular mechanism of LEDGF/p75 in HIV-1 integration is not yet completely understood. Our hypothesis is that evolutionarily conserved r...
