Produktbeschreibung

Intimate partner violence (IPV) among HIV positive women is the most shameful human rights violation that has been recognized as a major public health problem globally, including in Tanzania. This study aimed at exploring perceptions, understanding, and experiences of IPV and how these are related to care and treatment among women living with HIV/AIDS, attending care and treatment clinics in Singida, Tanzania.This was a qualitative phenomenological study that comprised four sub-studies conducted over a period of three years using in-depth interviews with 35 women LWHA who also experienced IPV. Women who participated in this study expressed their views related to physical, sexual and emotional violence. Jealousy, pregnancy, extra marital relationships and alcohol were found to be related to IPV.Violence experienced by HIV-positive women has been recognized as a gross violation of human rights. It is a public health issue that often overlaps with the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Gender inequities in relationships to gender-based violence are reported to be associated with the increase of HIV infection in women.
