Diagnosis of a sexually transmitted infection (STI) in a young child has serious social and legal consequences, because it is usually regarded as indicative of sexual abuse. It is therefore critical to understand the probability of such a diagnosis in the absence of sexual abuse. We will investigate false positives that arise by contamination of the urogenital site by STI agents that also infect the eye, and the transfer of contaminants from fingers to diagnostic specimens.

幼儿性传播感染的诊断具有严重的社会和法律的后果，因为这通常被视为性虐待的迹象。因此，了解在没有性虐待的情况下进行此类诊断的可能性至关重要。我们将调查假阳性，所产生的泌尿生殖器部位的STI剂的污染，也感染眼睛，和污染物从手指转移到诊断标本。
