A collection of websites selected and archived by the National Library of Medicine on biomedical, clinical, cultural, and social aspects of HIV/AIDS in the early 21st century. Website captures began in 2016 and are ongoing. The collection’s principal themes are HIV treatment, HIV prevention, biomedical research on HIV/AIDS, clinical care for HIV patients, living with HIV, and social-cultural responses to HIV/AIDS. The collection includes websites for U.S. federal agencies, state public health HIV/AIDS departments, community organizations, international clinical trial and vaccine research sites, non-governmental organizations, advocacy groups, and a wide array of social media including blogs, YouTube videos, Facebook pages, Twitter feeds, and more. 

 Both men and women fall into two groups, one more inclined to be promiscuous and the other more inclined to be faithful, an Oxford University study has found. Unlike other species, which are inclined to be either promiscuous or faithful, both mating strategies seem to be used by humans. 
 
 The results, published in the journal Biology Letters, are from a study jointly carried out by Professor Robin Dunbar’s lab at the Oxford University and Professor John Manning at Northumbria University. Previous physical comparisons between humans and other mammals suggest that humans are mid-way between being a faithful species and a promiscuous species. Research by Dr Rafael Wlodarski and Professor Dunbar at Oxford University’s Department of Experimental Psychology suggests that this may actually be because humans consist of a mix of people, some of who are interested in short-term flings while others would like to form long-term commitments. 
 
 The researchers analysed previously collected answers from nearly 600 North American and British people on a standardized questionnaire about social and sexual attitudes. They also looked at measurements of the right index (second) finger versus the ring (fourth) finger from 1,313 British people. The shorter the index finger in relation to the ring finger (the 2D:4D ratio), the higher the levels of testosterone that person is likely to have been exposed to while developing in the womb. This is true for both men and women. From previous work, the researchers already knew that the higher levels of foetal testosterone can go together with greater sexual promiscuity as an adult. While not predictive of individual behaviour, the length of the ring finger versus the index finger can help identify the group of people who are more likely to be promiscuous. 
 
 The statistical analysis of sexual attitudes data found that people’s answers tended to clump into two groups, with one group corresponding to those who were more likely to value sexual fidelity, and the other group more likely to be promiscuous. 
 
 This was true for both men and women. While they were slightly more men in the ‘promiscuous’ group, Dr Wlodarski said, ‘We need to collect more data to confirm the possibility that there are more men in the promiscuous group, as these results are still quite preliminary’. 
 
 The analysis of the finger lengths similarly found that men tended to segregate into two groups. One group had a ring finger which was much longer than the index finger, suggesting that they had been exposed to more testosterone in the womb and may be more likely to seek many sexual partners. The other group had fingers which were similar in length, making them more likely to seek long-term relationships. 
 
 Dr Wlodarski said, ‘This research suggests that there may be two distinct types of individuals within each sex, pursuing different mating strategies. We observed what appears to be a cluster of males and a cluster of females who are more inclined to ‘stay’, with a separate cluster of males and females being more inclined to ‘stray,’ when it comes to sexual relationships.’ 
 
 ‘It is important to note that these differences are very subtle, and are only visible when we look at large groups of people: we cannot really predict who is going to be more or less faithful. Human behaviour is influenced by many factors, such as the environment and life experience, and what happens in the womb might only have a very minor effect on something as complex as sexual relationships’, according to Professor Dunbar.

– A new study finds that, despite your intentions, you may simply be inclined to cheat or not to cheat. As Phys.org reports, humans appear to be the rare mammals that can be either monogamous or polygamous—other species are typically one or the other. And now, University of Oxford researchers say they've found that some humans (53% of women and 43% of men) are more inclined to be faithful, while others (57% of men and 47% of women) are more inclined to be promiscuous. "This research suggests that there may be two distinct types of individuals within each sex, pursuing different mating strategies," the researchers say of their results, published in Biology Letters. To get these results, the team compared the results from a questionnaire of sexual habits to data on something called the "2D:4D" ratio. That ratio has to do with finger length: The longer your ring finger is when compared to your index finger, the higher the levels of testosterone you were likely exposed to in the womb; these higher levels have been linked to a higher chance of promiscuity. "While not predictive of individual behavior, the length of the ring finger versus the index finger can help identify the group of people who are more likely to be promiscuous," a University of Oxford press release explains. The researchers compared those results to the questionnaire data because, one explains, "human behavior is influenced by many factors, such as the environment and life experience, and what happens in the womb might only have a modest effect on something as complex as sexual relationships." (Meanwhile, jealous men and women focus on very different things.)
