“…Sexual relationship power in these studies as outlined by Bonacquisti, et al[30] “is a construct that characterizes power differentials between intimate partners, encompassing relationship dynamics such as trust, commitment, infidelity, decision-making and condom use negotiation”. We found 7 studies that pertained to this theme (refer to Table 2), four of which were quantitative, and three qualitative in design.…”

“…Condom use practices and/or confidence in condom use negotiation were assessed in all 4 of the studies, again through study specific questions. One study addressed sexual relationship power imbalances in intimate relationships through beliefs in “traditional” gender roles[31], another through self-confidence as assessed by study specific measures[32], and the remaining two assessed sexual relationship power imbalances through the Sexual Relationship Power Scale[30,33]. …”

How does intimate partner violence affect condom and oral contraceptive Use in the United States?

INTRODUCTION-Intimate partner violence (IPV) is estimated to affect 25% of adult women in the US alone. IPV directly impacts women's ability to use contraception, resulting in many of unintended pregnancies and STIs. This review examines the relationship between IPV and condom and oral contraceptive use within the United States at two levels: the female victim's perspective on barriers to condom and oral contraceptive use, in conjunction with experiencing IPV (Aim 1) and the male perpetrator's perspective regarding condom and oral contraceptive use (Aim 2).STUDY DESIGN-We systematically reviewed and synthesized all publications meeting the study criteria published since 1997. We aimed to categorize the results by emerging themes related to each study aim. RESULTS-We identified 42 studies that met our inclusion criteria. We found 37 studies that addressed Aim 1. Within this we identified three themes: violence resulting in reduced condom or oral contraceptive use (n=15); condom or oral contraceptive use negotiation (n=15); which we further categorized as IPV due to condom or oral contraceptive request, perceived violence (or fear) of IPV resulting in decreased condom or oral contraceptive use, and sexual relationship power imbalances decreasing the ability to use condoms or oral contraceptives; and reproductive coercion (n=7). We found 5 studies that addressed Aim 2. Most studies were cross-sectional, limiting the ability to determine causality between IPV and condom or oral contraceptive use; however, most studies did find a positive relationship between IPV and decreased condom or oral contraceptive use.

“…Research has shown that condom use is a multifaceted issue, particularly in sexual relationships involving power differentials and perceived monogamy. For example a study conducted by Bonacquisti & Geller [24] showed that when women's preference to use condoms was compared to their report of actual condom-use behavior, significant discrepancies emerged, indicating that women often are not in control of this aspect of their sexual behavior [24]. Moreover, another study showed that among 1,252 women enrolled, 78.4% were married (of whom 15.1% were in polygamous unions), 1.4% had a known HIV-infected partner, and 33.6% partner of unknown HIV status.…”

On February 1, 2016, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the Zika virus outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC). Because Zika virus is a relatively new infection with several transmission routes that include mosquito bites, sexual and possibly blood-related, we present the case for a parallel between the Zika epidemic and the AIDS epidemic for issues that relate particularly to pregnancy and epidemic response. We will discuss the many similarities between both epidemics while acknowledging that the viruses are different and the pathophysiology and disease manifestation are also different. What can we learn of the three decades of awareness campaigns, community involvement, clinical, behavior and prevention research, activism and policy-making related to HIV/AIDS? How can the lessons and experience of dealing with the HIV epidemic can help us deal with the ongoing Zika epidemic? Is there a roadmap that we can follow? Our position is that we can and we should. Parallels between the Zika and HIV/AIDS epidemics particularly in relation to pregnancy can be established. Lessons and successes from the HIV/AIDS epidemic control efforts can guide us towards comprehensive approaches to improve the health of women and infants at risk for Zika.

“…The SRPS has primarily been applied to nonsubstance using heterosexual partnerships in the field of HIV prevention research (Campbell et al, 2009; Conroy et al, 2016; Muldoon, Deering, Feng, Shoveller, & Shannon, 2015), in which lower SRPS scores have been associated with higher risk and inconsistent condom use and for HIV infection (Bonacquisti & Geller, 2013; Dunkle et al, 2004; Jewkes, Dunkle, Nduna, & Shai, 2010). However, we are unaware of any investigation of relationship dynamics in the intersecting injecting and sexual relationships of young WWID, or one that quantifies the impact of sexual relationship power on injecting or sexual risk behaviors in the context of WWID’s sexual relationships.…”

Background To date, research applying the Sexual Relationship Power Scale (SRPS) has been limited to sexual risk behaviors. Objective We measured levels of sexual relationship power and examined associations between sexual relationship power and injecting and sexual behaviors that place women at increased risk for blood borne infections. Methods Using data from a cross-sectional study of young women who inject drugs (WWID) in San Francisco, USA, logistic regression analysis identified independent associations between SRPS and subscale scores (relationship control [RC] and decision making dominance [DMD]) and injecting and sexual behaviors. Results Of the 68 young WWID, 24 (34%) reported receptive syringe sharing, 38 (56%) reused/shared a cooker to prepare drugs, and 25 (37%) injected someone else’s drug residue during the three-months prior to enrollment. Most (60, 88%) reported condomless sex with main sex-partner, 8 (12%) reported transactional sex, and 36 (53%) had two or more recent sex partners. The median SRPS score was 2.98 (IQR: 2.65, 3.18), 3.23 (IQR: 3.23, 3.57) for RC and 2.40 (IQR: 2.20, 2.60) for DMD. No significant associations were detected between SRPS or DMD and injecting or sexual risk behaviors. After adjusting for gender and years injecting, for every one-point increase in RC, women had a 6.70 lower odds of recent condomless sex (95% CI: 0.92, 50.00, p = 0.06), and a 3.90 lower odds of recent transactional sex (95%CI: 1.22, 12.50, p = 0.02). Conclusion Our study findings suggest that some components of sexual relationship power may play a role in sexual risk, but not in injecting risk.

Condom‐use intentions and the influence of partner‐related barriers among women at risk for HIV

Abstract: These findings have important implications for nurses as they are uniquely positioned to facilitate HIV risk reduction among their patients through the discussion of sexual health issues and barriers to negotiating condom use that women may confront.
