Willie TC, et al. - Researchers focused on the link between state-level intimate partner violence (IPV) prevalence and HIV diagnosis rates among women in the US. They also assessed the modifying influence of state IPV healthcare policies. To gather data on HIV diagnosis rates and IPV prevalence, they used HIV surveillance from 2010 to 2015 and the National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey from 2010 to 2012, respectively. States were coded for IPV healthcare policies on training, screening, reporting, and insurance discrimination. In relation to states with higher IPV prevalence, higher HIV diagnoses among women were reported. As recommended based on findings, HIV prevention programs should target IPV and link to community resources. The sexual health of women experiencing IPV may be protected via IPV-related policies in the healthcare system. The association between IPV and HIV diagnosis rates was stronger in states with low IPV protective healthcare policies and moderate IPV protective policies, but not in states with high IPV protective policies.
