Abstract

We sought to determine the association between intimate partner violence (IPV) and HIV testing among a representative household sample of Filipino women, using data collected from the 2017 National Demographic and Health Survey. In our sample, we found that 23.63% experienced IPV, and only 1.99% were tested for HIV in the past 12 months. We found that IPV was associated with an increased odds of HIV testing in the past 12 months (aOR = 1.42; 95% CI = 1.02, 1.99). Our study highlights the need to consider formal encounters with IPV survivors as opportunities to engage them in the HIV prevention and care continua.
