It may be possible to smell a sexually transmitted disease, a new Russian study says.
In the study, women rated the scent of armpit sweat from men with gonorrhea as less pleasant than the scent of sweat from men without gonorrhea. The women were also more likely to describe the sweat smell as "putrid" if it was from a gonorrhea-infected individual.
The researchers said the men's body odor may have changed as their immune systems responded to the gonorrhea infection.
