Moral values are the highest among all natural values. Goodness, purity, truthfulness, humility of man rank higher than genius, brillancy, exuberant vitality, than the beauty of nature or of art, than the stability and power of a state .Sexual assault and abuse is any type of sexual activity that one does not agree to, including:lnappropriate touching, Vaginal, anal, or oral penetration. Sexual intercourse that one say no to. Rape, Attempted rape. Child molestation.The risk of contracting HIV during sexual assault is low but present.Rape increases the risk of HIV transmission compared to consensual sex, as trauma is more likely and because sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) may be more prevalent in victims of sexual assault than in the general population. These infections may increase susceptibility to HIV infection.Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is short-term antiretroviral treatment to reduce the likelihood of HlV infection after potential exposure,either occupationally or through sexual intercourse. Within the health sector, PEP should be provided as part of a comprehensive universal precautions package that reduces staff exposure to infectious hazards at work. To be effective, PEP must begin within 72 hours of exposure, before the virus has time to make too many copies of itsef in human body. PEP consists of 3 antiretroviral (ART/ARV/HAART) medications and should be taken for 28 days.Non-occupational PEP (sometimes called "nPEP"), taken when someone is potentially exposed to HIV outside the workplace (e.g., from sexual assault, or during episodes of unprotected sex or needle-sharmg injection drug use).Sexual assault not only bring trauma and pain to the victim but it also carries series of such psychological disturbances like quarries & cooperation to the treating Doctor & legal personnel like Police, Judicial & social workers by answering to all such questions , answering to which may sometime will be very difficult & painful. Above all this, finding a solution for this can take many years. Chance of becoming pregnant is another problem need to be taken care of and above all, transmission of sexually transmitted infections & HIV should be taken care. Hepatitis B & C infections are still more dangerous than HlV & chances of getting these infections are much more. These are all stressful factors which trigger the worst condition of the victim. Even victim can go into deep depression & psychological disturbances. Therefore they need regular fallow up for pregnancy, STl's/RTl's, Hepatitis B & C and nPEP should be provided free of cost to stop further health problems of HlV So this is the moral responsibility of the Government and society to provide free PEP along with fast justice.Keywords

Adolescence describes the teenage years between 13 and 19 and can be considered the transitional stage from childhood to adulthood. Nevertheless, many adolescents do die prematurely due to accidents, suicide, violence, pregnancy related complications and other illnesses that are either preventable or treatable. Many more suffer chronic ill-health and disability. For World AIDS Day 2013, WHO launches new HIV recommendations to increase testing, counseling, treatment and care for adolescents group. The failure to support effective and acceptable HIV services for adolescents has resulted in a 50% increase in reported AIDS-related deaths in this group compared with the 30% decline seen in the general population from 2005 to 2012. Comparing the landscape with 10 years ago when HIV infected children faced inevitable death (dying before the age of 1 year), those born with HIV now have access to Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) or HAART (Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy).Therefore children are now surviving up to adolescence & beyond. These adolescents face lot of problems other than their peers, like scars on the skin with color changes, lypodistrophy & lypoatrophy, papule pruritic leason, being short stature, physically weaker and having delayed puberty. Living & observing the HIV complications & death of their parents and near ones, may lead to psychological complications. Because of the HIV related cognitive impairment naturally these children will have poor academic achievements which may lead to less chance of gaining economic independence. Keeping all this in mind society should be well equipped with multidisciplinary support to provide overall care for adolescents living with HIV, such as government sponsored social supports schemes, financial help, sex education, premarital counseling, providing nutritional food, self-help schemes and equal job opportunities etc.Keywords
