- | Some measures of sexual behavior, including age of sexual initiation and lifetime number of partners, are risk factors for acquiring sexually transmitted infections, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and externalizing psychopathology such as drug use. Same sex partnerships correspond to differential risk for infection, due to varying rates of transmission across types of sex acts as well as population differences in prevalence of infection. Twin and family studies have demonstrated moderate heritabilites for a range of sexual behaviors, few studies have tested the extent to which these trait heritabilities are polygenic or tagged by common variants. | + | Some measures of sexual behavior, including age of sexual initiation and lifetime number of partners, are risk factors for acquiring sexually transmitted infections, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and externalizing psychopathology such as drug use.
