The Impact of Intimate Partner Violence on the Mental and Physical Health of Sexual and Gender Minorities: A Comprehensive Review of Quantitative Research

“…found that Men Who Have Sex with Men or Transgender Women who experienced IPV were more likely to endorse condomless receptive and anal intercourse with one or more of their last three sexual partners (94.1%) than participants reporting no IPV (68.8%, p = .03). Finally,Wirtz et al (2022) found that recent IPV victimization was associated with a 1.4-fold increase in self-reported past 12-month STI clinical diagnosis (ref: no IPV; adjPrR: 1.44; 95%CI: 1.08‚1.92), that it was inversely associated with current PrEP use among participants with a past negative HIV test result (ref: no IPV; adjPrR: 0.65, 95%CI: 0.38‚1.10). In addition, physical IPV was independently associated with reduced PrEP use (ref: no physical IPV; adjPrR: 0.35, 95%CI: 0.13‚0.90) and lifetime IPV victimization was associated with lifetime ART medication interruptions among participants living with HIV (ref: no IPV; adjPrR: 1.59; 95%CI: 1.25‚2.01) in a sample of Black Gay and Bisexual Men.…”
