AB This exploratory study was conducted to determine whether sexual abuse
might be a risk factor or marker for other risk factors for Human
Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection. Twenty-five HIV-positive
adolescents were assessed for a variety of possible risk factors for HIV
infection, including prior history of sexual abuse. Fifteen (60%) had a
history of sexual abuse. A history of sexual abuse may be a risk factor
for HIV infection directly, or it may be associated with or predispose
one to other risk factors. The latter mechanism may be related to the
long-term negative outcomes of some individuals with a history of sexual
abuse. These may include same-sex sexual experiences as an adolescent,
re-victimization with additional episodes of abuse, multiple consensual
sexual partners, and drug and/or alcohol abuse. Preventive interventions
aimed at reducing the risk of HIV infection must take a history of
sexual abuse into account. Patients with such a history deserve
intensive psychological counseling to help prevent adverse behavioral
outcomes that can result in HIV infection.
