What this research studies

This research investigates the impact of intimate partner violence (IPV) on women living with HIV, focusing on their daily management of the condition. It aims to identify daily risk and protective factors that influence their engagement in HIV care. The study will involve 315 women who have experienced IPV, collecting data over 28 days on their adherence to HIV medications and other related factors. Participants will receive a screening and intervention designed to improve their HIV care engagement compared to standard practices.

Who could benefit from this research

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this research are adult women living with HIV who have experienced intimate partner violence.

Not a fit: Patients who are not living with HIV or have not experienced partner violence may not benefit from this research.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this research could lead to improved HIV care strategies for women affected by partner violence, enhancing their health outcomes.

How similar studies have performed: Previous research has shown that integrated interventions addressing both IPV and HIV can improve health outcomes, suggesting potential success for this approach.
