    Extractions: Index Sexually Transmitted Diseases/Infections What they are STD and STI are terms used to describe a host of diseases acquired through intimate sexual contact. Gonorrhea, syphilis, herpes, chlamydia and AIDS are just a few of the more than 20 STDs which have been identified (since AIDS is in a very unique category as an STD, it will not be addressed here). STDs are caused by either bacteria, viruses or other organisms and are currently among the most common types of infection. Each year, more than 10 million Americans are diagnosed with an STD. How STDs are spread STDs are generally caused by organisms which enter the body through the warm moist surface of the mucous membrane found in the vagina, urethra, anus and mouth. Transmission occurs through intimate sexual contact with someone who is already infected, but once outside the body, these organisms usually die off soon. More than one STD can be transmitted at a time. Symptoms An STD may be present if any of the following symptoms are found in the genital area: bad odors, unusual discharge, sores, bumps, itching or redness. If there is the slightest possibility you have been exposed to an STD, get medical attention as soon as possible. For women, this is especially important as they often have no symptoms. Do not attempt any home remedies and avoid intercourse until you have been tested.

    Extractions: The Truth About Herpes A Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD), also called a venereal disease , is a term for infections acquired mainly through sexual contact. The usual area of contact is the genitals, but the practice of oral and anal sex also leads to cases of anal and oral infections. STDs afflict an estimated 200 to 400 million people worldwide, including about 70 million in the United States, and the incidence of infection is rising. More than 30 individual STDs have been identified. Each STD is unique, but they share similar symptoms. Most STDs can be cured through timely diagnosis and proper medical treatment. STDs are most common among sexually active teenagers and young adults, especially individuals who have multiple sex partners. Sexually transmitted diseases usually start at the external genitalia, however, they can spread to the prostate, uterus, testes and nearby organs. Most of these infections only cause irritation, itching, and minor pain but

Sexually Transmitted Diseases and Child Sexual Abuse Portable Guides to Investigating Child Abuse - Foreword Investigating allegations of sexual abuse of children is very difficult for law enforcement. Successful resolution of these cases is often hampered by victim reluctance or inability to communicate as well as the scarcity of corroborating evidence. While the consequences of all abuse of children are of great concern to us, sexual abuse can be particularly devastating, especially when a sexually transmitted disease is part of the tragic legacy of violation. This guide is designed to present additional investigative techniques, utilizing the presence of a sexually transmitted disease, which will assist in identifying or eliminating suspects in sexual abuse cases. Successful investigations are crucial because they can be the gateway to treatment for victims and can help protect them from further victimization. The guide also seeks to sensitize investigators to the need for personal precautions when investigating these cases and helps them to recognize children in need of immediate medical attention. OJJDP is proud of this offering and urges you to make use of it as we work to protect our children. Original Printing June 1996 Second Printing July 1997 Third Printing March 2001 NCJ 160940 - Sexually transmitted diseases (STD's) comprise a wide range of infections and conditions that are transmitted mainly by sexual activity. The classic STD's, gonorrhea and syphilis, are now being overshadowed by a new set of STD's that are not only more common, but are also more difficult to diagnose and treat. These new STD's include infections caused by Chlamydia trachomatis (chlamydia), human papilloma virus (HPV), bacterial vaginosis (BV), and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Rapid application of new technology to the diagnosis of STD's has led to a growing array of diagnostic laboratory tests that require critical evaluation by clinicians and a critical review by law enforcement. Accurate information about STD's in victims of sexual abuse has been hindered by a variety of factors: o The prevalence of sexually transmitted infections may vary regionally and among different populations within the same region. o Few studies have attempted to differentiate between infections existing prior to sexual abuse and those that result from abuse. The presence of a preexisting infection in adults is usually related to prior sexual activity. In children, however, preexisting infections may be related to prolonged colonization after perinatal acquisition (acquisition immediately before and after birth), inadvertent nonsexual spread, prior peer sexual activity, or prior sexual abuse. o The incubation periods for STD's range from a few days for gonorrhea to several months for HPV. The incubation periods and the timing of an examination after an episode of abuse are critically important in detecting infections. When presented with a child with an STD, law enforcement officials must attempt to determine absolutely if the infection was associated with sexual contact and, for the purposes of prosecution, whether appropriate diagnostic methods were used. The following facts should be kept in mind: o STD's may be transmitted during sexual assault. o Multiple episodes of abuse increase the risk of STD infection, probably by increasing the number of contacts with an infected individual, and rates of infection also vary by the type of assault. For example, vaginal or rectal penetration is more likely to lead to detectable STD infection than fondling. o Sexual assault is a violent crime that affects children of all ages, including infants. o The majority of children who are sexually abused will have no physical complaints related either to trauma or STD infection. Most sexually abused children do not indicate that they have genital pain or problems. o In children the isolation of a sexually transmitted organism may be the first indication that abuse has occurred. o In most cases, the site of infection is consistent with a child's history of assault. o Although the presence of a sexually transmissible agent in a child over the age of 1 month is suggestive of sexual abuse, exceptions do exist. Rectal and genital chlamydia infections in young children may be due to a persistent perinatally acquired infection, which may last for up to 3 years. The incidence and prevalence of sexual abuse in children are difficult to estimate. o Most sexual abuse in childhood escapes detection. o Patterns of childhood sexual abuse appear to depend on the sex and age of the victim. o Between 80 and 90 percent of sexually abused children are female (average age: 7 to 8 years). o Between 75 and 85 percent of sexually abused children were abused by a male assailant, an adult or minor known to the child. This individual is most likely a family member such as the father, stepfather, mother's boyfriend, or an uncle or other male relative. o Victims of unknown assailants tend to be older than children who are sexually abused by someone they know and are usually only subjected to a single episode of abuse. o Sexual abuse by family members or acquaintances usually involves multiple episodes over periods ranging from 1 week to years. o Most victims describe a single type of sexual activity, but over 20 percent have experienced more than one type of forced sexual act. Vaginal penetration has been reported to occur in approximately one-half and anal penetration in one-third of female victims of sexual abuse. o Over 50 percent of male victims of sexual abuse have experienced anal penetration. o Other types of sexual activity, including oral-genital contact and fondling, occur in 20 to 50 percent of victims of sexual abuse. o Children who are sexually abused by known assailants usually experience less physical trauma, including genital trauma, than victims of assaults by strangers because such trauma might arouse suspicion that abuse is occurring.

The recent grant from the National Institute of Nursing Research of the National Institutes of Health brings the total amount of funding for the seven- year project to nearly $2 million. This second phase, which will include the intervention, will last three years. Homeless adolescents are at higher risk than other adolescents for contracting and transmitting sexually transmitted diseases because they engage in risky sexual behavior at earlier ages than household youth and they lack routine immunizations (hepatitis B) and health care services, Rew said.
