Domestic minor sex trafficking (DMST) has become an increasingly recognized issue associated with both immediate and long-term physical and mental health consequences. Guidelines have focused on potential risk factors, recruitment practices, and health consequences for these youth assisting in identification and intervention efforts. However, recommendations have not been established for continuous medical intervention and follow-up for this vulnerable patient population that includes both patients involved in and at high risk for DMST. Our goal is to highlight preliminary recommendations for and the importance of medical visits for these youth. A comprehensive physical examination, STI testing and treatment, and pregnancy prevention options are important to address the patients' concerns for their body and identify acute and chronic injuries. Further, collaborating with other medical and non-medical providers can provide essential resources for the multifaceted needs of DMST patients.
国内未成年人性交易（DMST）已成为一个日益受到关注的问题，它会带来即时和长期的身心健康后果。相关指南聚焦于这些青少年的潜在风险因素、招募方式以及健康后果，以协助识别和干预工作。然而，对于这一弱势群体（包括卷入DMST的患者和处于DMST高风险的患者），尚未制定持续医疗干预和随访的建议。我们的目标是强调针对这些青少年进行医疗问诊的初步建议及其重要性。全面的体格检查、性传播感染检测与治疗以及避孕措施对于解决患者对自身身体的担忧并识别急慢性损伤至关重要。此外，与其他医疗和非医疗服务提供者合作可为DMST患者的多方面需求提供必要资源。
