To investigate sexual violence and its impact on reproductive health in unmarried young women seeking abortion in China.
A total of 2002 participants were surveyed by questionnaire, gynecologic examination, and laboratory tests for sexually transmitted disease (STD).
Overall, 14% of participants had experienced sexual violence and 43.4% were diagnosed with STD. Among victims of sexual abuse, 8.6% had their first sexual encounter when they were younger than 18 years; 42.7% had had 2 or more sexual partners; and 21.6% never used contraception. Multivariate analysis revealed that sexual abuse, multiple sexual partners, sexual activity before the age of 18 years, and not using contraception were important indicators of the presence of STD.
The prevalence of sexual abuse is high in China; and among unmarried young women seeking abortion, those who experience sexual abuse are at significantly increased risk for STD.

通过问卷调查、妇科检查以及性传播疾病（STD）实验室检测，对总共2002名参与者进行了调查。
总体而言，14%的参与者曾遭受性暴力，43.4%被诊断患有性传播疾病。在性虐待受害者中，8.6%在18岁之前首次发生性行为；42.7%有过2个或更多性伴侣；21.6%从未使用过避孕措施。多变量分析显示，性虐待、多个性伴侣、18岁之前的性活动以及不使用避孕措施是性传播疾病存在的重要指标。
中国性虐待的发生率很高；在寻求堕胎的未婚年轻女性中，遭受性虐待的女性感染性传播疾病的风险显著增加。
