24 Jan 2005
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Self-reported measures of sexual behavior are subject to nontrivial reporting biases. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to develop a behavioral biomarker of recent sexual activity among females that is inexpensive, easily administered, and can be used in low sexually transmitted disease prevalence populations.
