6 Introduction Sexual assault -any sexual act performed by one (or more) person(s) on another without consent. May include the use or threat of force. In some cases, the person does not give consent to have sex because he or she is unconscious or otherwise incapacitated. A person may be raped by a stranger, an acquaintance or date, or a family member. Rape is a legal term it refers to any penetration of a body orifice (mouth, vagina, or anus) involving force or the threat of force or incapacity (i.e., associated with young or old age, cognitive or physical disability, or drug or alcohol intoxication) without consent.

7 Sexual violence Rape Attempted rape Gang rape Defilement Attempted defilement Indecent act Sexual assault Incest by males and females Deliberate transmission of HIV and any other life threatening sexually transmissible infections Sexual offences relating to positions of authority and persons in positions of trust

8 After sexual assault. Now what ? Why did this happen to me? Could I have prevented this? Will I develop an infection or become pregnant as a result of the assault? Who should I call first? Should I report this to the police? Is this reportable? Since I was drinking, isn't this my fault?

9 The following steps are recommended after sexual assault Find a safe environment away from the assailant Call a close friend or relative – someone who will offer unconditional support Seek medical care; do not change clothes, bathe, douche, or brush your teeth until evidence is collected. A complete medical evaluation includes evidence collection, a physical examination, treatment and/or counseling. You do not have to do any part of this evaluation that you do not want to do.

Several types of healthcare providers provide counseling, including social workers, psychologists, nurses, and psychiatrists. Some people prefer to meet one-on-one with a counselor while others prefer to meet in a group setting with other people who have had similar experiences.

34 Benefits of preventing mother to child transmission of HIV AIDS related deaths -reversing the gains made in child health and survival in Kenya. Caring for HIV-infected children has major economic and social impacts on families and health systems. Thus at the national level, preventing MTCT has the potential to increase the understanding and acceptance of the HIV/AIDS epidemic and those living with HIV/AIDS. Counseling, testing and community sensitization can contribute to reducing stigma. Reduction of MTCT of HIV: Decreases numbers of HIV infected children Increases child health and survival Decreases the load on the health system Gives an opportunity to improve and expand health services as well as to strengthen the existing health infrastructure

37 MDGs MDGs are a framework of 8 goals, 18 targets and 48 indicators to measure progress towards the Millennium Development goals - Goal 6: Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases Target 6.A: Have halted by 2015 and begun to reverse the spread of HIV/AIDS Target 6.B: Achieve, by 2010, universal access to treatment for HIV/AIDS for all those who need it Target 6.C: Have halted by 2015 and begun to reverse the incidence of malaria and other major diseases
