In parts of Africa "baby rape" is commonplace. Some men with HIV
and/or AIDS in these African cultures believe there is something
curative in the sexual intercourse with a virgin, as will rape a baby
in an effort to purge himself of the disease. Children so young - only
weeks or months old - that the rape requires resonstructive surgery
have been reported as victims. As victims of an infectived individual
many of these children, if they survive, become infected themselves.

Does this suffice as an answer? If so I can provide some articles on
this horribly tragic subject for you.

I would like to know a statistic about the youngest age someone has
been infected by HIV through sex.  Maybe its 12...maybe its 16...I
don't know.  I would like to know because I will be speaking to young
highschool kids about HIV.

Not rape...I would like to know the earliest age someone has obtained
HIV through sex that is engaged between two participants...no rape.

I don't know if this website will be a total help, but it does have
some statistics on it:  http://www.coolnurse.com/aids.htm.

Good luck!

Found one more website you might be interested in: 
http://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=15060

which has this statistic:  The estimated number of new pediatric AIDS
cases (cases among individuals younger than age 13) in the United
States fell from 952 in 1992 to 92 in 2002.(5)

This one is worldwide:  As of the end of 2003, an estimated 37.8
million people worldwide - 35.7 million adults and 2.1 million
children younger than 15 years - were living with HIV/AIDS.
Approximately two-thirds of these people (25.0 million) live in
Sub-Saharan Africa; another 20 percent (7.4 million) live in Asia and
the Pacific.(1)
