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.
Child maltreatment can be categorized as neglect, physical abuse, sexual abuse, and emotional abuse. Almost 3 million children are harmed or endangered by maltreatment each year. While girls are four times more likely to be sexually abused, boys are slightly more likely to be neglected and 24% more likely to be physically abused. Children with disabilities are almost four times more likely to be recipients of neglect and abuse. Further, poverty plays a major role in physical abuse and neglect, as parents who earn less than $15,000 per year are 44 times more likely to maltreat their children compared to parents earning more than $30,000.
