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.
ANYONE CAN BE A VICTIM! Victims can be of any age, sex, race, culture, religion, education, employment or marital status. Although both men and women can be abused, most victims are women. Children in homes where there is domestic violence are more likely to be abused and/or neglected. Most children in these homes know about the violence. Even if a child is not physically harmed, they may have emotional and behavior problems.
