HIV and women abuse : case management
Year: 2007
Type: article
Abstract: Violence against women makes women more vulnerable to HIV / AIDS. Women who are abused and HIV positive are an important group of women who needs to be at the centre of research studies. They also need counselling in order to access social services. This article reports on the findings of three substudies: (1) a record review on HIV issues raised by POWA clients, (2) longitudinal in-depth case studies of abused women who are also HIV positive, and (3) an environmental scan investigating service delivery. The findings revealed that although a high percentage of abused women acknowledge that their partners are having affairs, they are not willing to reveal their status or go for testing. These women do not therefore, fully utilise services and other social support services at their disposal.
