Research suggests that HIV-negative individuals with an STI may be at increased risk of becoming infected with HIV through anal sex, vaginal sex, frontal sex (a term used by some trans people to refer to sex using genitals on the front of the body) and oral sex. 1 But how do STIs increase someoneâs risk of HIV infection?
Every 10 seconds a child is abused or raped. 3.3 million child abuse reports in 2010. For every report 2 more go unreported = many millions abused annually. 61,000 reports to Child Protective services per week = 6 per minute.
The incidence of child abuse and neglect has increased dramatically in the past 25 years -- over 130% since 1980 -- with 1993 being the first year since 1972 when the number was less than the previous year. The overall rate of abuse and neglect is 13.6 per 1,000 children.
