Mapping the evidence of intimate partner violence among women living with HIV/AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa: A scoping review

BMJ Open May 16, 2021

Meskele M, et al. - This study was conducted to map the evidence of intimate partner violence (IPV) against women living with HIV/AIDS in Africa. Researchers applied the online database to distinguish papers published from 1 January 2009 to 1 April 2019, from which we selected 21 articles from Uganda, Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, Zambia, Ethiopia, Cameroon, Tanzania, and Swaziland that used IPV as an outcome variable among women living with HIV/AIDS. PubMed, MEDLINE, EBSCO host, Google Scholar were searched for data. Women who were aged 15 years and above, living with HIV/AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa were included in the study. Among women living with HIV/AIDS, evidence of IPV was found. It has been reported that HIV-positive women were at considerable risk of IPV after disclosure of their serostatus to a male partner. Thus, there is a need for future study to promote action to reduce IPV among HIV-positive and HIV-negative women and to ascertain healthcare workers’ IPV screening experience.
