本研究定性研究的风险的亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）和艾滋病毒感染在南非的交叉点。18名寻求关系暴力服务的妇女被问及关于她们的虐待经历和艾滋病毒风险的半结构化问题。与会者经历了各种形式的虐待，这些虐待相互强化，形成了一种持续虐待和增加艾滋病毒风险的气氛。男性伴侣同时有多个性关系，以及关系沟通不畅，使女性更容易感染艾滋病毒和遭受虐待。沉默、男性权力和经济限制的社会环境使虐待得以继续。提出了“打破沉默”和赋予妇女权力的解决办法。
This study qualitatively examines the intersections of risk for intimate partner violence (IPV) and HIV infection in South Africa. Eighteen women seeking services for relationship violence were asked semistructured questions regarding their abusive experiences and HIV risk. Participants had experienced myriad forms of abuse, which reinforced each other to create a climate that sustained abuse and multiplied HIV risk. Male partners having multiple concurrent sexual relationships, and poor relationship communication compounded female vulnerability to HIV and abuse. A social environment of silence, male power, and economic constraints enabled abuse to continue. "Breaking the silence" and women's empowerment were suggested solutions.
