Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how a history of violence victimization impacts women's susceptibility to sexually transmitted infections (STIs) by analyzing immune responses in the female reproductive tract.
- Women who experienced repeated victimization showed changes in immune barrier properties, regardless of demographic factors or bacterial vaginosis presence.
- Findings suggest a biological connection between past trauma and increased STI risk, with evidence of immune dysfunction affecting barrier integrity in areas exposed to STIs.
