 AB    OBJECTIVE: To assess the relationship between sexual assault and HIV
       positivity in adolescents and adults. METHODS: Prevalence data from 1992
       national testing sites contain information concerning sexual assault.
       Sexual assault is reported as a risk category and may be present with
       other risk groups. Data of HIV positivity and sexual assault on pooled
       risk categories is depicted in the table below. TABULAR DATA, SEE
       ABSTRACT VOLUME. Thirteen (1.6%) of 821 males, and 51 (.4%) of 13,198
       females who came for testing after sexual assault tested HIV positive.
       CONCLUSION: Sexual assault reports are highest for women. Although no
       significant relationship between HIV and sexual assault is apparent,
       prevalence data from all risk categories combined suggest that people
       reporting sexual assault may be more likely to test HIV positive.
