transmission, because the sexual abuse of children is
frequently associated with multiple episodes of assault,
and might result in mucosal trauma.” With this statement
law enforcement should be investigating individuals who
are associated with the opportunity to commit the sexual
assaults on the child victim i.e. relative, peers, friends and
others.
In evaluating the risk that children are exposed to
contract HIV and AIDS, law enforcement must listen to
what medical personnel tell them about the approximate
date of contraction and so forth. According to AVERT,
averting HIV and AIDS, “More than 1,000 children are
newly infected with HIV every day, and of these more
than half will die as a result of AIDS because of a lack of
access to HIV treatment. In addition, millions more
children every year are indirectly affected by the
epidemic as a result of the death and suffering caused in
their families and communities.”
AVERT’s findings demonstrate that over 400,000
children each year are newly infected with HIV. The
cause of most of these contractions comes from child
sexual abuse. The realization that there are sexual
offenders worldwide infecting children is simply
unconscionable. As stated previously for the most part,
the contracted disease generally identifies the perpetrator
law enforcement has identified as being the person who
sexually abused the child victim.
The following findings further demonstrate just how
serious the STDs, especially HIV are having on the
children worldwide:
• At the end of 2009, there were 2.5 million
children living with HIV around the world.
• An estimated 400,000 children became newly
infected with HIV in 2009.
• Of the 1.8 million people who died of AIDS
during 2009, one in seven were children. Every
hour, around 30 children die as a result of AIDS.
• There are more than 16 million children under
the age of 18 who have lost one or both parents
to AIDS.
• Most children living with HIV/AIDS– almost 9
in 10 – live in sub-Saharan Africa, the region of
the world where AIDS has taken its greatest toll.
There are more questions than there are answers about
child sexual abuse and STDs. Why women and men
sexually assault vulnerable and young children will
continue to be a mystery. Law enforcement in their child
sexual abuse investigations are always looking for a way
to identify medical evidence which can be part of the
prosecution of sexual offenders. Over time, medical
personnel and law enforcement are learning how to work
together and bring those who contract STDs to children,
to justice and the life of confinement in a 8 x 12 holding
cell. My viewpoint being that the 8 x 12 cell being too
big for what they did sexually to the child victim.

Boy, aged ELEVEN, treated
for Chlamydia as 1,000
under-16s seek help for
Sexual Diseases
By Jessica Satherley
30 August 2011
A boy of 11 has been treated in hospital after contracting
a sexual disease, a shocking survey has found.
He is the youngest among a group of children under 16
who have been treated for sexually transmitted infections
in UK hospitals.
The figures have revealed that almost 1,000 under-16s
have been diagnosed with venereal diseases such as
herpes, chlamydia and gonorrhoea in the past three years.
The number of youngsters seeking treatment was
revealed by a freedom of information request, that also
listed two 12-year-old boys among those infected.
They were treated for genital warts and herpes by
Chelsea and Westminster Foundation Trust, while the 11-
year-old was treated for chlamydia.
A 12-year-old girl was also treated for herpes between
2009 and 2010, according to the information published
by the Mid Essex Foundation Trust. Although some trusts
did not release their information, those that did revealed
unsurprisingly that the older the patients got, the more
problems they had.
Since 2008, there have been 44 girls and two boys aged
13 who have received treatment for STIs, the Daily
Mirror reported.
Of those aged 14, there have been 200 youngsters treated
for infections and 602 aged 15 attended clinics with
sexual health problems.
