Exploring the Critical Intersection: Women, Violence, & HIV

This briefing will explore the critical intersection of women, violence, and HIV and the impact of trauma on health outcomes of women living with HIV. One in four HIV-­‐positive women has been raped in their life3me; trauma is linked to poorer health-­‐related outcomes among HIV positive women as well as increased transmission risk behavior. This briefing will provide information about the work the Administration has done through the Interagency Federal Working Group and will provide updates on implementation of recommendations.
