A1 - Chen, Lynn A1 - Bagwell, Meredith SP - 399 EP - 414 VL - 22 IS - 4 N2 - Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) 2006 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System were analyzed to report the HIV-testing rates and locations of women who have experienced intimate partner violence (IPV). Of the 18,917 women in the sample, 19.8% reported experiencing IPV. Over half of the women who experienced IPV reported testing rates of 52.4%, compared with 35.5% of the overall sample. Testing rates and locations significantly differed by race/ethnicity.

FINDINGS and their implications are explored, with an emphasis on increasing access to HIV testing and treatment for women who have experienced IPV and providing sexual safety planning for women accessing HIV-testing services.
