Gender-based violence (GBV) threatens women's health and safety. Few prospective studies examine physical and sexual violence predictors. Baseline/index GBV history and polyvictimization (intimate partner violence, non-partner sexual assault, and childhood sexual abuse) were characterized. Predictors of physical and sexual violence were evaluated over follow-up.
HIV-infected and uninfected participants (n=2,838) in the Women's Interagency HIV Study provided GBV history; 2,669 participants contributed 26,363 person years of follow-up from 1994 to 2014. In 2015-2016, multivariate log-binomial/Poisson regression models examined violence predictors, including GBV history, substance use, HIV status, and transactional sex.
Overall, 61% reported index GBV history; over follow-up, 10% reported sexual and 21% reported physical violence. Having experienced all three forms of past GBV posed the greatest risk (adjusted incidence rate ratio [AIRR]=2.23, 95% CI=1.57, 3.19; AIRR=3.17, 95% CI=1.89, 5.31). Time-varying risk factors included recent transactional sex (AIRR=1.29, 95% CI=1.03, 1.61; AIRR=2.98, 95% CI=2.12, 4.19), low income (AIRR=1.22, 95% CI=1.01, 1.45; AIRR=1.38, 95% CI=1.03, 1.85), and marijuana use (AIRR=1.43, 95% CI=1.22, 1.68; AIRR=1.57, 95% CI=1.19, 2.08). For physical violence, time-varying risk factors additionally included housing instability (AIRR=1.37, 95% CI=1.15, 1.62); unemployment (AIRR=1.38, 95% CI=1.14, 1.67); exceeding seven drinks/week (AIRR=1.44, 95% CI=1.21, 1.71); and use of crack, cocaine, or heroin (AIRR=1.76, 95% CI=1.46, 2.11).
Urban women living with HIV and their uninfected counterparts face sustained GBV risk. Past experiences of violence create sustained risk. Trauma-informed care, and addressing polyvictimization, structural inequality, transactional sex, and substance use treatment, can improve women's safety.
基于性别的暴力(GBV)威胁着女性的健康与安全。很少有前瞻性研究探讨身体暴力和性暴力的预测因素。对基线/索引期的GBV病史及多重受害情况(亲密伴侣暴力、非伴侣性侵犯和童年性虐待)进行了特征描述。在随访期间评估了身体暴力和性暴力的预测因素。
女性机构间HIV研究中的HIV感染和未感染参与者(n = 2838)提供了GBV病史;2669名参与者在1994年至2014年期间提供了26363人年的随访数据。在2015 - 2016年,多变量对数二项式/泊松回归模型研究了暴力预测因素,包括GBV病史、物质使用情况、HIV状态和交易性行为。
总体而言,61%的人报告有索引期GBV病史;在随访期间,10%的人报告遭受过性暴力,21%的人报告遭受过身体暴力。经历过所有三种形式的既往GBV风险最高(调整发病率比[AIRR]=2.23,95%置信区间[CI]=1.57,3.19;AIRR = 3.17,95% CI = 1.89,5.31)。随时间变化的风险因素包括近期的交易性行为(AIRR = 1.29,95% CI = 1.03,1.61;AIRR = 2.98,95% CI = 2.12,4.19)、低收入(AIRR = 1.22,95% CI = 1.01,1.45;AIRR = 1.38,95% CI = 1.03,1.85)和使用大麻(AIRR = 1.43,95% CI = 1.22,1.68;AIRR = 1.57,95% CI = 1.19,2.08)。对于身体暴力,随时间变化的风险因素还包括住房不稳定(AIRR = 1.37,95% CI = 1.15,1.62);失业(AIRR = 1.38,95% CI = 1.14,1.67);每周饮酒超过七杯(AIRR = 1.44,95% CI = 1.21,1.71);以及使用快克可卡因、可卡因或海洛因(AIRR = 1.76,95% CI = 1.46,2.11)。
感染HIV的城市女性及其未感染的同龄人面临持续的GBV风险。过去的暴力经历会造成持续的风险。提供创伤知情护理,解决多重受害、结构性不平等、交易性行为和物质使用治疗问题,可以提高女性的安全性。
