Empowering women: intimate partner violence and its association with unintended pregnancies, contraceptive use, and HIV infection among Ugandan women: a cross-sectional population-based study in Wakiso and Hoima districts

The results indicate that the link between IPV and unintended pregnancies is suggestive of a potential association. While the association between IPV and HIV was not statistically significant, it points to a possible relationship that requires further research. There was no significant association between IPV and contraceptive use. Given the design of the study, causal inference cannot be established; however, the results may inform future studies aimed at preventing IPV and improving SRHR outcomes in Uganda.
