Hi. This question came from my scientist husband: has a correlation been discovered between an individual's ACE score and the age of first sexual experience? He's interested in this, wondering if that has been linked.

Hi Brenda,

The only connection I've heard of is if a person has been subjected to child sexual abuse. Here's the data from the CDC website on the ACE Study:

Note the definition of sexual abuse.

Childhood abuse can increase the chance of sexually transmitted disease and HIV/AIDS b/c one seeks out the failed attachment they never got from their parents.

You might want to take a look at this handout, too: http://www.promoteacceptance.samhsa.gov/10by10/presentations/ACEchart_508.doc
