AB OBJECTIVE: To assess the relationship between sexual assault and HIV
positivity in adolescents and adults. METHODS: Prevalence data from 1992
national testing sites contain information concerning sexual assault.
Sexual assault is reported as a risk category and may be present with
other risk groups. Data of HIV positivity and sexual assault on pooled
risk categories is depicted in the table below. TABULAR DATA, SEE
ABSTRACT VOLUME. Thirteen (1.6%) of 821 males, and 51 (.4%) of 13,198
females who came for testing after sexual assault tested HIV positive.
CONCLUSION: Sexual assault reports are highest for women. Although no
significant relationship between HIV and sexual assault is apparent,
prevalence data from all risk categories combined suggest that people
reporting sexual assault may be more likely to test HIV positive.
