“…75,76 In one of the only population-based studies on IPV and specific preventive screening behaviors in women, those who had lifetime experiences of IPV were more likely to undergo HIV testing, cervical cytology, and breast examinations compared to those without IPV experiences. 77 However, women exposed to IPV tended to be less likely to obtain passive preventive screening tests such as mammography screening conducted in the context of routine physical care compared with women unexposed to IPV. 77 This discrepancy may be related to insurance coverage and socioeconomic status.…”

“…77 However, women exposed to IPV tended to be less likely to obtain passive preventive screening tests such as mammography screening conducted in the context of routine physical care compared with women unexposed to IPV. 77 This discrepancy may be related to insurance coverage and socioeconomic status. Expanding upon these findings, a prospective longitudinal study of 1,420 women found that IPV exposure increased the odds of receiving counseling for safety and violence in the home (although the overall rate was only 20%) and screening tests for HIV/STIs; no associations were observed for IPV exposure and Pap testing, contraceptive counseling, alcohol and drug use counseling, and smoking counseling.…”

In the United States, intimate partner violence (IPV) against women disproportionately affects ethnic minorities. Further, disparities related to socioeconomic and foreign-born status impact the adverse physical and mental health outcomes as a result of IPV, further exacerbating these health consequences. This article reviews 36 U.S. studies on the physical (e.g., multiple injuries, disordered eating patterns), mental (e.g., depression, post-traumatic stress disorder), and sexual and reproductive health conditions (e.g., HIV/STIs, unintended pregnancy) resulting from IPV victimization among ethnic minority (i.e., Black/African American, Hispanic/Latina, Native American/Alaska Native, Asian American) women, some of whom are immigrants. Most studies either did not have a sufficient sample size of ethnic minority women or did not use adequate statistical techniques to examine differences among different racial/ethnic groups. Few studies focused on Native American/Alaska Native and immigrant ethnic minority women and many of the intra-ethnic group studies have confounded race/ethnicity with income and other social determinants of health. Nonetheless, of the available data, there is evidence of health inequities associated with both minority ethnicity and IPV. To appropriately respond to the health needs of these groups of women, it is necessary to consider social, cultural, structural, and political barriers (e.g., medical mistrust, historical racism and trauma, perceived discrimination, immigration status) to patient-provider communication and help-seeking behaviors related to IPV, which can influence health outcomes. This comprehensive approach will mitigate the racial/ethnic and socioeconomic disparities related to IPV and associated health outcomes and behaviors.

“…Several studies have shown that women experiencing IPV may in fact receive more preventive services, particularly those related to sexual health (e.g., STI/HIV testing) than those not experiencing IPV. [76][77][78] Given the relatively frequent follow-up required for PrEP, however, it is unclear as to whether these findings are applicable in this context.…”

HIV and intimate partner violence (IPV) are significant intersecting threats to women's health. Women in violent relationships have few feasible HIV risk reduction options as traditional prevention methods are largely dependent on a partner's cooperation. The purpose of this review is to explore potential benefits and drawbacks of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) use among women in the United States experiencing IPV. Advantages of PrEP use in this population include the potential for covert or autonomous use, coital independence, dual protection against sexual and injection risk, and facilitated connections to social services. A number of barriers, however, may interfere with the effective use of PrEP, including partner resistance, cost, frequent medical visits, gendered norms regarding sexuality, and stigma. To realize its potential for women in violent relationships, it will be necessary to incorporate PrEP into behavioral and structural interventions that encourage uptake, facilitate adherence, ensure women's safety, and challenge existing gender norms.

“…IPV and fear of IPV have been associated with substance use, multiple sex partners, and exchange sex, coercive sex, challenges negotiating safe sex, having sex with men who are HIV-positive or have HIV risk factors such as injection drug use, and increased risks for HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). 6,7 Although IPV survivors may be more likely to get tested for HIV than women who do not experience IPV, 8 fears of IPV can complicate and even deter disclosure of HIV or other STIs by women to their male partners, since it can trigger violence. 9,10 IPV can be a formidable barrier to access of health care for women living with HIV.…”

Recent research suggests intimate partner violence (IPV) is commonly experienced by many people living with HIV/AIDS, which can complicate their care. We introduce a novel approach to screening for history of violence among 102 women of color living with HIV and receiving care at an outpatient public health clinic. Using a composite measure composed of data from a variety of screening tools, we were able to determine that 70.6% of the women had a history of violence using the composite measure, and that 43% screened positive using multiple screening tools. Although overall viral load suppression rate was high at 81.4%, women with a history of violence were less likely to be virally suppressed when compared to those without such a history (76.4% versus 93.3%, p<0.05). Our findings suggest using a variety of screening questions at entry and at follow-up care appointments may be key to identifying and supporting women survivors who may not disclose violence when first asked. Future research should foster further development, analysis, and use of a variety of screening tools such as those used in this study.
