Introduction And Objective:: Germ cell tumors account for 90 to 95% of all testicular tumors. Approximately one-half of these cases are seminomas, and the other half constitutes non-seminomatous germ cell tumors (NSGCTs). The standard of care for men with more advanced or disseminated NSGCTs (stage IIB or higher) is to administer chemotherapy.

Methods: We interviewed 146 HIV-infected women (73 PM/73 F) in search of gynecological complaints and signs and symptoms of HIV disease and obtained additional information concerning HIV infection by medical chart review. Cervicovaginal lavages (CVLs) were collected for assessment of HIV shedding.
