The intersecting epidemics of gender-based violence, specifically forced sex, and HIV continue to affect women worldwide. Both in the United States and worldwide, women of African descent are disproportionately affected.
The current literature was reviewed for inclusion based on its relevance to the intersection of forced sex and HIV risk behaviors.
This brief review synthesizes research on the linkages between forced sex and behavioral risk factors for HIV infection. We explore forced sex from the perspective of the perpetrator being a current or former intimate partner, as well as the first sexual intercourse experience occurring through the use of physical force (i.e., forced sexual initiation). The review also emphasizes the importance of expanding current research to understand the physiological mechanisms linking forced sex to HIV risk.
The factors linking intimate partner forced sex and forced sexual initiation with HIV/AIDS are varied and complex. The review concludes with recommendations for future research in this area and implications this research could have on preventing violence and mitigating the health consequences.
基于性别的暴力行为(尤其是强迫性行为)与艾滋病毒的交叉流行继续影响着全球各地的女性。无论在美国还是在全球范围内,非洲裔女性的受影响程度都不成比例。
根据与强迫性行为和艾滋病毒风险行为交叉相关的相关性,对现有文献进行了综述。
本简要综述综合了关于强迫性行为与艾滋病毒感染行为风险因素之间联系的研究。我们从施害者是当前或前任亲密伴侣的角度,以及通过使用武力(即强迫性开始性行为)发生的第一次性经历的角度来探讨强迫性性行为。该综述还强调了扩大当前研究以了解将强迫性性行为与艾滋病毒风险联系起来的生理机制的重要性。
将亲密伴侣强迫性性行为和强迫性开始性行为与艾滋病毒/艾滋病联系起来的因素是多种多样且复杂的。该综述最后提出了该领域未来研究的建议,以及该研究对预防暴力和减轻健康后果的影响。
