Trauma and Cultural Safety: Providing Quality Care to HIV-Infected Women of Aboriginal Descent
2014, Journal of the Association of Nurses in AIDS CareCitation Excerpt :Depression among survivors of sexual abuse is common. Characteristics include poor self-esteem, helplessness, hopelessness, and suicidal wishes as a way out of the suffering (Allers et al., 1993). Marla knew that she should take her ART as prescribed, at least 95% of the time (Chen, Hoy, & Lewin, 2007), but she sometimes felt that not taking her medications would cause her to die and she saw that as a way out of her suffering.
HIV-infected men who have sex with men and histories of childhood sexual abuse: Implications for health and prevention
2013, Journal of the Association of Nurses in AIDS CareCitation Excerpt :In addition to associations between CSA and chronic health conditions, experiencing sexual abuse in childhood is also connected with a continuum of risky sexual behavior later in life. Several studies have found associations between men's CSA exposure and unprotected sex, receiving compensation for sex, and sex with multiple partners, thereby putting them at risk of contracting HIV and also putting their partners at risk (Allers et al., 1993; Bartholow et al., 1994; O'Leary et al., 2003; Zierler et al., 1991). When controlling for variables such as study site, age at enrollment, education, and race, the EXPLORE study of HIV-uninfected men (N = 4,295) from six cities across the United States found that there was a significant association between a history of CSA and unprotected anal sex (Mimiaga et al., 2009).
Transactional sex as a form of child sexual exploitation and abuse in Rwanda: Implications for child security and protection
2012, Child Abuse and NeglectCitation Excerpt :The African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child (Article 27) emphasizes states’ duties to “protect the child from all forms of sexual exploitation and sexual abuse,” including taking precautions against sexual activity, prostitution, and pornography. These forms of abuse and exploitation have cascading effects on children's health and overall wellbeing (Allers, Benjack, White, & Rousey, 1993; Birdthistle et al., 2010; Kuate-Defo, 2004; Wamoyi, Wight, Plummer, Mshana, & Ross, 2010). In the past two decades, HIV/AIDS funding and research in public health, anthropology and social work have helped promote new ways of thinking about the interrelated nature of the disease and children's basic security and protection (Betancourt, Fawzi, Bruderlein, Desmond, & Kim, 2010), including the complex role that sexual abuse and exploitation may assume as both an upstream factor and downstream effect of HIV/AIDS (Kuate-Defo, 2004; Lalor, 2004; Plummer & Njuguna, 2009).
