Using data from the Rakai Community Cohort Study (RCCS), five survey rounds were used (n = 21,157, observation from n = 10,618 men) to examine HIV risk and prevention behaviors among men who reported acts of violence against their wife/primary partner in the past 12 months. Overall, 10.4% men reported perpetrating physical violence and 17.3% perpetrating verbal violence, 3.1% reported sexual violence, 3.1% used violence to have sex with their wife/partner, and 1.1% used verbal coercion. Factors associated with IPV were: age 20-24 years, lower socio-economic status, being married, no male circumcision, drinking alcohol before sex, no consistent condom use, multiple sex partners in the past 12 months, multiple partners ever, and working in a bar. Protective HIV behaviors predicted fewer reports of perpetration and HIV-risk behaviors predicted more reports of perpetrating IPV.
