“…In the United States, about 1.5 million women are physically assaulted by an intimate partner every year and the lifetime risk for IPV is 21–55% (Gielen et al., ). In 2007 alone, IPV resulted in 2,340 deaths in the United States, with the majority of these deaths being female victims (Tufts, Clements, & Wessell, ). However, even these numbers do not represent the extent of the issue, as many instances of IPV remain unreported.…”

“…One survey reported that forty percent of pregnant women who have been exposed to abuse report that their pregnancy was unintended, compared to just eight percent of non-abused women (Hathaway et al, 2000). Additionally, contemporary focus has been placed on theintersection of IPV and HIV and the profound implications on the life of the mother and child (Adams- Tufts et al, 2010). IPV and sexual assault often occur in tandem and increase risk for (1) contracting HIV, (2) not disclosing HIV status, (3) failing to seek healthcare services for HIV, and (4) inability, due to the IPV dynamics, toward adhering to recommended HIV related medical regimens.…”

Pregnancy and motherhood traditionally represent evolution of the next generation; yet, contemporary research and analyses confirm that this time can also be manifested in fear by the expectant mother within an environment of battering, cruelty, physical and emotional abuse, and sexual assault. Often to the surprise of many healthcare providers, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have consistently reported that Interpersonal Violence (IPV) related homicide is a leading cause of traumatic death among new and expectant mothers. In spite of these staggering statistical and anecdotal findings, universal screening for violence during pregnancy continues to be minimal. Forensic nurses might be prompted to respond to the consequences of violence and its resultant negative effects on expectant mothers by strategically incorporating systematic and consistent assessment into foundational nursing curricula regarding IPV as a leading risk factor for injury or death.

“…[28][29][30][31] The presence of HIV infection may increase the risk of subsequent IPV within a relationship. 32,33 Identifying HIV patients, who have suffered or are suffering from the effects of IPV, offers the potential for mitigating its negative effects on both their general as well as HIV health.…”

HIV and intimate partner violence (IPV) epidemics propagate and interact in a syndemic fashion contributing to excess burden of disease and poorer health outcomes. In order to understand the impact of IPV on HIV disease management, a universal screening program was implemented in the Southern Alberta Clinic in May 2009. We evaluated our IPV screening protocol and made recommendations for its usage in HIV care. IPV data obtained from patients were evaluated, supplemented with responses from a subset of in-depth interviews. 35% of 1721 patients reported experiencing IPV. Prevalence was higher among females (46%), Aboriginal Canadians (67%), bisexual male/females (48%), and gay males (35%). Of 158 patients interviewed, only 22% had previously been asked about IPV in any health care setting. Patients were responsive to routine IPV screening emphasizing that referral services need to be easily accessible. 23% of patients disclosing IPV subsequently connected to additional IPV resources after screening. We recommend that universal IPV screening be incorporated within regular HIV clinic care. The IPV survey should be given after trust has been established with regular follow-up every 6-12 months. A referral process to local agencies dealing with IPV must be in place for patients disclosing abuses.
