The quality of sexual
intercourse in the context of conjugal visits by women to their jailed partners
is unknown. This study aimed to assess the quality of the sex lives and
psychological conditions of women attending conjugal visits with their jailed
inmate partners.
This controlled study involved 124 women between the ages of
18 to 40 years who engaged in sexual relations with their inmate partners
(conjugal visit group) or with their partners at home (control group). Sexual
function was assessed using a semi-structured questionnaire and the Female
Sexual Function Index, and psychological parameters were evaluated using the
Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale. The total Female Sexual Function Index
scores was similar in the 2 groups. The percentage of women reporting good
quality of the relationship was significantly higher in the conjugal visit
group.
Also, the Hospital Anxiety and Depression scale scores were higher in
the conjugal visit group. Depression was a risk factor for sexual dysfunction
and had a negative effect on scores in the desire, excitement, lubrication, and
sexual satisfaction domains, whereas anxiety was associated with lower sexual
desire scores.
A regular + poor quality of the relationship and being religious
were factors associated with sexual dysfunction. Sexual practices in jail were
not a risk for sexual dysfunction in this sample.

Still the cost of HIV early detection test is high in United States that is why most people don't go for it. The government is doing its best to educate people but still some more awareness is required in schools & colleges.
