The transmissibility of sexually transmitted diseases in sexually abused children

Article Abstract:

The presence of sexually transmitted disease (STD) is a valid evidence regarding the prevalence of child sexual abuse. The most common form of STD infection in abused children is gonorrhea but selective criteria for screening must be determined to avoid unnecessary collection of cultures. Other possible STDs prevalent in abused children are Chlamydia trachomatis, genital human papillomavirus, syphilis, bacterial vaginosis, Trichomonas vaginalis and herpes simplex virus. Proper medical history and differential diagnosis must be performed in linking the STDs to abuse.

Commentary: the transmissibility of sexually transmitted diseases in sexually abused children

Article Abstract:

Significant research must be performed to investigate the prevalence of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) in sexually abused children. Three factors are to be considered in understanding the transmissibility of the disease, namely, sexual contact, infection with a specific STD organism and the manner by which the disease was transmitted. Proper selection of the tests for the STD diagnosis of STDs is an important determinant in the occurrence of the abuse. Distinction between STD acquired from the mother or by sexual contact must be properly evaluated.
