TY - JOUR PY - 2011// TI - Intimate Partner Violence and HIV Risk Behaviors Among Socially Disadvantaged Chilean Women JO - Violence against women A1 - Miner, Sarah A1 - Ferrer, Lilian A1 - Cianelli, Rosina A1 - Bernales, Margarita A1 - Cabieses, Báltica SP - 517 EP - 531 VL - 17 IS - 4 N2 - The objective of this study was to determine if a relationship exists between intimate partner violence (IPV) and HIV risk among socioeconomically disadvantaged Chilean women. A correlational analysis with data from the NIH-funded project, "Testing an HIV/AIDS Prevention Intervention for Chilean Women," was conducted. Two hundred and sixty-one women were included in this analysis (n = 261). Those women who had experienced any type of IPV in the past 3 months had significantly higher risk for HIV than those who had not (t = -2.016, p < .05). Also a linear trend was found among those women who had experienced more than one type of IPV in the past 3 months and HIV risk.
