Article Synopsis
- Intimate partner violence (IPV) and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are major global health issues, but existing research mainly comes from Western countries, which may not apply to other areas like Thailand.
- In a study of 400 Thai women aged 15-49 at gynecology clinics, 21% reported experiencing IPV in the past year, and factors like childhood abuse, alcohol use, and multiple sexual partners significantly increased the likelihood of having an STI.
- The study suggests the need for IPV screening during STI assessments and highlights the importance of further research to understand the link between IPV and STIs for better preventive measures.
