Case Studies in Identifying and Addressing Intimate Partner Violence among People with HIV
 |
Educational Need:
The prevalence of intimate partner violence (IPV) is high among people with HIV (PWH). PWH who report IPV are more likely to have poor HIV-related health outcomes (i.e., limited retention in care and poor adherence to antiretroviral therapy), sexually transmitted infections, mental health disorders, and poor overall physical health. HIV care visits are an opportunity to assess for and address IPV and provide comprehensive support to patients who have experienced IPV. Using a combination of didactic presentation and case vignettes, this free interactive CME/CNE-certified webinar will discuss the definition of IPV, its impact on HIV and non-HIV related health outcomes, guideline recommendations for assessing IPV during HIV care, and comprehensive approaches to support patients with histories of IPV using a trauma-informed approach.
Learning Objectives
- Define intimate partner violence
- Discuss the impact of intimate partner violence on HIV and non-HIV related health outcomes
- Discuss how the care team can work together to assess for and address intimate partner violence using a trauma-informed approach

Implicit Bias
Defaulting to stereotypes about your patients may lead to a lack of trust and poor health outcomes. It is very important to treat each patient as a unique individual who may or may not hold beliefs associated with their backgrounds and circumstances. In addition to treating each patient as a unique individual, HIV team members must strive to be aware of their own biases and endeavor not to let them influence the quality of care they provide.
