TL;DR
Women who reported both physical and sexual abuse were significantly more likely to have experienced STDs than non-victimized women, and a relationship of borderline statistical significance between non-sexual physical abuse and STDs was shown.
Abstract
Health care providers should routinely screen patients for both abuse and STDs, and they should assist identified women in accessing appropriate health, social, and legal services.

It seems that risks for older age groups are increased by difficulties in continuing to use condoms in long term relationships where monogamy cannot be taken for granted, and there are difficulties in changing sexual behaviours which were established before HIV became an issue.
