Sexual violence is a broad term that encompasses a wide range of sexual victimizations. Since the American Academy of Pediatrics published its last policy statement on sexual assault in 2008, additional information and data have emerged about sexual violence affecting adolescents and the treatment and management of the adolescent who has been a victim of sexual assault.

Follow-up of the acute assault, as well as prevention of sexual assault, are also discussed.

A meta-analysis published in 2000 observed a prevalence of N. gonorrhoeae of 2-6.5%, C. trachomatis 6-17%, T. vaginalis 2.3-14.7% and syphilis 1-3% (Reynolds et al 2000;Cattaneo et al 2006).…”
