Literature review reveals bidirectional links between violence and HIV infection in women, highlighting the need for integrated screening and prevention interventions.

Key Points

Review available evidence on the links between violence and HIV infection among women and identify priorities for future research, policy, and intervention design.
Reviewed 29 studies from the United States and sub-Saharan Africa examining intersections between violence and HIV transmission.
Assessed four domains: forced sex and transmission risk, intimidation and condom negotiation, violence risks among women with HIV, and cross-cutting intervention opportunities.
Demonstrated qualitative and observational evidence linking physical violence, intimidation, and forced sex directly to heightened HIV risk and compromised condom negotiation.
Identified that women diagnosed with HIV face substantial ongoing risks of violence victimization, particularly surrounding serostatus disclosure.
Noted substantial methodological gaps across studies, demonstrating a need for standardized measurement tools, prospective cohort designs, and male partner perspectives.
