We assessed the prevalence and correlates of intimate partner violence (IPV) to women living with HIV/AIDS in an antiretroviral clinic in Nigeria. Three hundred sixty respondents were interviewed using a structured questionnaire. Sixty percent were married, of which 24% had disclosed HIV status to their partner. About a quarter (23.6%) had experienced IPV since HIV diagnosis. Types of violence experienced were physical violence (17%), emotional violence (21%), and sexual violence (2%). Predictors of IPV included having a younger aged partner, disclosing status, and partner's alcohol use (p = .001). Suggestions to prevent IPV include increasing public awareness and family counseling.
我们在尼日利亚一家抗逆转录病毒诊所评估了感染艾滋病毒/艾滋病的女性遭受亲密伴侣暴力(IPV)的患病率及其相关因素。采用结构化问卷对360名受访者进行了访谈。60%的受访者已婚,其中24%已向伴侣披露了自己的艾滋病毒感染状况。自艾滋病毒确诊以来,约四分之一(23.6%)的人遭受过亲密伴侣暴力。遭受的暴力类型包括身体暴力(17%)、情感暴力(21%)和性暴力(2%)。亲密伴侣暴力的预测因素包括伴侣年龄较小、披露感染状况以及伴侣饮酒(p = 0.001)。预防亲密伴侣暴力的建议包括提高公众意识和提供家庭咨询。
