Limitations • Cross-sectional sample of urban-based MSM • Analysis does not consider if facing multiple forms of IPV compounds risk • Condom negotiation with last sex partner may not reflect overall condom negotiation skills
Conclusion • Recent experience of IPV is associated with reduced self-reported condom negotiation efficacy among gay and bisexual men • Non-physical, non-sexual forms of IPV may also impact condom negotiation • Low condom negotiation efficacy may be a pathway through which IPV increases HIV risk
Recommendations • Gay, bisexual, and other MSM should be screened for Intimate Partner Violence during routine HIV counseling and testing • See: Stephenson et al., “Towards the development of an Intimate Partner Violence screening tool for gay and bisexual men,” Western Journal of Emergency Medicine, in press
