Resumen
Purpose: Analyse the prevalence of gender violence (GV), intimate partner violence(IPV) and domestic violence (DV) among HIV-infected adults in Alicante(Spain) and analyse if victims have worse adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART).
Method: Observational study recruiting HIV-infected adults on ART for >1year in three hospitals of Alicante (Spain). Abuse Assessment Screen (AAS) tool was used for violence screening and Danger Assessment(DA) questionnaire for risk level. Simplified medication adherence questionnaire (SMAQ) and medication possession ratio (MPR) were used to assess adherence. Qualitative variables were compared using the Fisher test and quantitative ones using t-student or Mann-Whitney-U. Logistic regression was used in multivariate analysis.
Results: From Feb2019 to June2019 we recruited 94 HIV-infected adults: 37.2%women, 21.3% immigrants, 39.4%HSH, 38.3% heterosex,12.8%IDU, mean age 49±10.3, median time since HIVdiagnosis= 131months (IQR:76.4-263), median time on ART: 121.8months (IQR:58.7-226), 89.4% undetectable VL.
Twenty-six patients (27.66%) had suffered abuse in their lifetime (table 1): 20 emotional abuse, 8 physical abuse, none sexual abuse. Four(4.3%) were currently suffering violence (3 emotional, 1 physical); one was considered at extreme risk.
