“…27,64,65,68 In the only study to examine potential differences in HIV risk correlates of IPV among African American and African Caribbean women, divergent findings were observed. 66 Among African American women in the U.S., factors independently associated with recent IPV were lifetime casual and exchange sex partners, and inconsistent condom use during vaginal and anal sex; whereas, among African Caribbean women in the U.S. Virgin Islands, having a concurrent sex partner, frequent condom use during vaginal and anal sex, drug use, and a past year STI were associated with recent IPV. 66 Within Hispanic subgroups, unexpectedly, comparisons between Puerto Rican women born in the U.S. compared to those born in the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico revealed that birth in the U.S. was an indicator of greater risk for IPV, risky sexual practices, and risky partners.…”

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.

“…4,[54][55][56] IPV has been related to a lower likelihood of using condoms and requesting condom use 57 and sexual coercion in intimate relationships has been associated with HIV risk. 54,58 Therefore, research must begin by closer examination of the perpetrators of sexual violence against Latinas, particularly the intimate partners of foreign-born Latinas and why those partners are more likely to perpetrate sexual violence. Previous research has found that more acculturated Latino men 59 and men who drink heavily 60 are more likely to perpetrate violence so additional research into the nativity, acculturation, and substance use of physically abusive intimate partners of Latinas is needed.…”

Intimate Partner Sexual Violence: A Comparison of Foreign- Versus US-Born Physically Abused Latinas

et al. 2013

Men's violence against women-particularly intimate partner sexual violence (IPSV)-is associated with the transmission of HIV. Men who physically abuse their female intimate partners often also sexually abuse them. Latinas are one of the fastest growing populations in the USA and at high-risk for contracting HIV, though little is known about IPSV against physically abused Latinas, including whether there is an association between nativity of the victim and the likelihood of sexual violence by intimate partners. This study examined the (1) prevalence of recent (past 6 months) IPSV against 555 physically abused, help-seeking Latinas and (2) relationship of nativity to recent IPSV. This study used data collected in 2002-2003 from participants in one major city on the East Coast and one West Coast county, who were involved in the Risk Assessment Validation (RAVE) Study. The RAVE Study assessed the accuracy of four different methods for predicting risk of future intimate partner violence. IPSV was defined as an abusive male partner physically forcing sex (rape) or making the woman have sex without a condom. Recent IPSV was reported by 38 % of the sample. Among those reporting recent IPSV, multiple assaults were common: 30 % of women were raped and 51 % were made to have unprotected sex six or more times during the past 6 months. IPSV was significantly associated with nativity. Physically abused Latinas who were foreign born had two times greater odds of reporting recent IPSV than physically abused Latinas born in the USA, after controlling for other demographic covariates. Exploratory post hoc analyses examining all pairwise comparisons of IPSV against Latinas born in the USA, Mexico, Central America, South America, and the Caribbean also revealed some significant differences that warrant further study with larger samples. HIV prevention efforts aimed at reducing IPSV in this population are needed.

“…Data were collected as part of a multi-site case-control study examining the impact of intimate partner abuse (IPA: physical, sexual and/or psychological abuse) on health outcomes among Black women, which has been described elsewhere(30-32). Study team members recruited participants from primary care, prenatal or family planning clinics in Baltimore, MD and St. Thomas and St. Croix, USVI between 2009 and 2011.…”
