"The American Urological Association, Inc.® (AUA) considers injection of fat cells for increasing penile girth (width) to be a procedure which has not been shown to be safe or effective.
The AUA also considers the cutting of the suspensory ligament of the penis for increasing penile length in adults to be a procedure that has not been shown to be safe or effective."
Glossary of Terms

Sexual
behavior, sexually transmitted diseases, male circumcision and risk
of HIV infection among women in Nairobi, Kenya.

OBJECTIVE: To study risk factors for HIV infection among women
in Nairobi, Kenya, as the epidemic moves beyond high-risk groups.
DESIGN: A cross-sectional case-control study among women attending
two peri-urban family planning clinics. METHODS: A total of 4404
women were enrolled after giving written informed consent. Information
on risk factors was obtained by interview using a structured questionnaire.
Blood was taken for HIV and syphilis testing, and genital specimens
for gonorrhea and trichomoniasis screening. RESULTS: Two hundred
and sixteen women (4.9%; 95% confidence interval, 4.3-5.5) were
HIV-1-positive. Although risk of HIV was significantly increased
among unmarried women and among women with multiple sex partners,
most seropositive women were married and reported only a single
sex partner in the last year. Women with a history or current evidence
of sexually transmitted disease were at significantly increased
risk; however, the prevalence of these exposures was low. Women
whose husband or usual sex partner was uncircumcised had a threefold
increase in risk of HIV, and this risk was present in almost all
strata of potential confounding factors. Only 5.2% of women reported
ever having used a condom. CONCLUSIONS: These data suggest that,
among women who are not in high-risk groups, risk of HIV infection
is largely determined by their male partner's behavior and circumcision
status. Interventions designed to change male sexual behavior are
urgently needed.
