abstract="Sexual abuse has devastating effects on women and girls, and has been shown to be a significant factor in further abuse or in risky sexual behavior. Several researchers have written of a link between abuse and HIV infection, and the large HIV Epidemiology Research Study (HERS) and the Women's Interagency HIV Study (WIHS) confirm these findings. Childhood sexual abuse is emerging as a primary risk factor in HIV infection, and physical violence is a major risk factor in HIV mortality. Childhood sexual abuse may also lead to less satisfactory patient-doctor relationships in individuals who have historically withheld information from their health care providers. Guidelines are included for dealing with patients who have been sexually traumatized in the past.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
