Researchers at the University of Illinois say they discovered three women infected by an identical virus during a study of virus-infected vaginal lactobacillus strains. The finding suggests that the virus gets around by sexual contact. On the brighter side of the STD news front, researchers from Laval University have developed a nose spray that could prevent gonorrhea. They say tests on female mice show that the experimental nasal vaccination curbs the colonization of bacteria responsible for the disease.
