Abstract:
This fact sheet explores the links between intimate partner violence (IPV) and HIV among women in the U.S. It draws from statistics covering prevalence of both IPV and HIV, and covers the associations between the two, including the impact of IPV on HIV-affected women in terms of risk of violence, health outcomes, etc. It also explores how histories of victimization can precede both HIV risk and IPV risk. Lastly, it examines what the CDC is doing to address the issue. (Author Text)
