Violence and the HIV Clinical Cascade
Initiate on & complete
PEP
Initiate on PrEP
Prevention
Violence is a barrier of adherence
to PrEP.
Barriers to PEP adherence for
survivors of sexual violence include
psychological and emotional stress and
rape stigma as a result of the assault.
Survivors may also delay in accessing PEP after an assault due to fear of reprisal attacks
from perpetrators.
Violence is associated with reduced linkage
to HIV care services and
initiation on ART.
Women who experience violence are less likely
adhere to treatment and achieve viral
suppression. Violence is also associated with
reduced ART adherence among adolescents,
transgender women, and drug users.
