Abuse and Trauma: Lessons for HIV Prevention and Care
Abuse and trauma can create lifelong challenges to physical well-being and emotional health. Among people living with HIV, childhood sexual abuse, violence, rape, and psychological abuse are more common than in the broader population. This forum will examine the links between trauma, HIV risk behaviors such as substance use and unprotected sex, and HIV disease progression—and how these links can be broken.
