We assessed the incidence of sexual violence, physical violence, physical health symptoms, gynecological symptoms, and risk behaviors for contracting an STD or HIV infection in women who had used a shelter for women with abusive partners. In addition, we investigated the relationships between sexual violence and the frequency of physical health symptoms, including specific gynecological symptoms. Results indicated that one fourth of the women interviewed had experienced sexual violence and nearly two thirds of the women had experienced physical violence in the past 6 months. The incidence of physical health symptoms, gynecological symptoms, and risk behaviors for exposure to STDs and HIV infection are presented. The correlations among sexual violence, physical violence, and experiences of physical health symptoms are also reported. This study is particularly valuable because previous research has not documented the relationship between sexual violence and physical health symptoms.
我们评估了曾在受虐妇女庇护所避难的女性遭受性暴力、身体暴力、身体健康症状、妇科症状以及感染性传播疾病或艾滋病毒风险行为的发生率。此外，我们还调查了性暴力与身体健康症状（包括特定妇科症状）出现频率之间的关系。结果表明，在接受访谈的女性中，四分之一的人在过去6个月内遭受过性暴力，近三分之二的女性遭受过身体暴力。文中呈现了身体健康症状、妇科症状以及感染性传播疾病和艾滋病毒的风险行为的发生率。同时也报告了性暴力、身体暴力与身体健康症状经历之间的相关性。这项研究尤为重要，因为此前的研究尚未记录性暴力与身体健康症状之间的关系。
