Upwards of 50% of abused women report having experienced forced sex – a well-established high risk factor for HIV infection. Once infected\, people living with HIV who are also suffering abuse may experience escalation of violence upon disclosure of their status – resulting in potentially lethal outcomes. Intimate partner violence (IPV) can also prevent survivors living with HIV from accessing necessary treatment and care\, and the stress caused by abuse can further compromise their immune systems and accelerate the progression of the disease.\n\nFrom HIV prevention to testing\, treatment\, and long term care\, health care providers have many opportunities to reduce the isolation of survivors and increase their options for safety and better health\n\nThis webinar will briefly outline the intersection of gender based violence and HIV\, and descibe how providers\, particularly those in STI testing and reproductive health settings\, can respond to violence and support survivors at risk for contracting or recently diagnosed with HIV.\n\nSpeakers: Surabhi Kukke\, MPH (Futures Without Violence\, Kate Vander Tuig (Futures Without Violence) URL:https://www.futureswithoutviolence.org/events-calendar/gender-based-violence-health-and-hiv-intersections-and-implications-for-clinicians/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
