HIV-positive women who engage in postpartum unsafe sex are at risk for STI acquisition, unintended pregnancy, and secondary transmission of HIV to uninfected partners. One factor that may increase risk for postpartum unsafe sex among HIV-positive women is IPV victimization, however, few studies have examined this association. To this end, the current longitudinal study examined whether patterns of psychological, physical, and sexual IPV, assessed during pregnancy, predicted unsafe sex at 14 weeks postpartum among South African women diagnosed as HIV-positive during pregnancy (n=561). In a three-step latent class analysis IPV class membership predicted postpartum unsafe sex; compared to non-victims, victims of multiform severe controlling IPV were significantly more likely to engage in postpartum unsafe sex (p=.01), even after adjusting for key confounders. Moderate IPV was not associated with postpartum unsafe sex. Findings support the need for targeted sexual risk reduction interventions for HIV-positive pregnant women who have experienced severe patterns of IPV.
