Women in abusive relationships are at risk for sexually transmitted infections (STIs), but the strategies they use to protect themselves from such infections have not been studied. Using the descriptive qualitative approach of thematic analysis, I explored those strategies among formerly abused women and examined the role of pregnancy as a protective factor for both STIs and intimate partner violence (IPV). Women described creative strategies, but as the abuse continued, women came to realize that the only way to protect themselves was to leave the relationship. Health care providers are well situated to provide information and support to abused women.
处于虐待关系中的女性有感染性传播感染（STIs）的风险，但她们用以保护自己免受此类感染的策略尚未得到研究。我采用主题分析这种描述性定性方法，探究了曾受虐待女性的这些策略，并考察了怀孕作为性传播感染和亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）保护因素的作用。女性描述了一些有创意的策略，但随着虐待持续，她们逐渐意识到保护自己的唯一办法就是离开这段关系。医疗保健提供者处于为受虐女性提供信息和支持的有利位置。
