Associations between recent intimate partner violence and sustained viral suppression among pregnant and postpartum women living with <scp>HIV</scp> in western Kenya: A secondary analysis of a prospective cohort ( <scp>Opt4Mamas</scp> )
While IPV was not associated with SVS, we identified important psychosocial correlates. Lack of male partner support, depression, and stigma were associated with increased IPV, emphasizing the need for interventions that address relationship dynamics, mental health, and HIV-related stigma to mitigate IPV exposure.
