The purposes of this study were to (a) review original research in the United States on the intersection of HIV risk and intimate partner violence (IPV) in women, and (b) identify trends that promote nursing and public health prevention and intervention strategies. Twenty-three original, peer-reviewed articles in the medical literature from 2008 to April 2012 were reviewed. Articles were eligible for inclusion if they addressed both HIV and IPV in women. Studies identified relationships between intimate partner victimization and HIV risk behaviors. Other factors compounding the complex relationship between IPV and increased HIV risk in women included sexual decision-making, male behavior, and substance use. A promising trend was found in the publication of studies addressing interventions. Prospective studies are needed to determine causality and temporal associations. Nursing interventions should focus on identifying women at risk for IPV, assessing HIV exposure risks, and providing culturally sensitive interventions and preventive measures.
