Effect of menses on clearance of Y-chromosome in vaginal fluid: implications for a biomarker of recent sexual activity
Abstract
Self-reported sexual behaviors are subject to bias. We previously developed a polymerase chain reaction for the detection of Y-chromosome sequences in vaginal fluid as a potential biomarker of recent sexual activity. In this study, we found menses results in lower Y-chromosome concentrations but with similar decay patterns as non-menstrual samples.
