Course Description: Intimate partner violence (IPV) is defined as physical, sexual, or psychological harm by a current or former partner or spouse. There is a growing body of evidence on the prevalence of IPV victimization among gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM). The study aimed to investigate the prevalence of IPV, associations of socioeconomic and psychosocial factors with IPV, and the association of IPV with depression and sexual behavior, among GBMSM in the PROUD trial of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). Researchers found that men reporting internalized homophobia and sexualized drug use were more likely to report IPV. Training on awareness for IPV among GBMSM in sexual health clinics is recommended.
Learning Objectives:
