Empowering women: Intimate partner violence and its association with unintended pregnancy, contraceptive use, and HIV infection among Ugandan women: A cross-sectional population-based study

This cross-sectional study aimed to assess the association between past-year IPV and key sexual and reproductive health outcomes, including contraceptive use, HIV infection, and unintended pregnancies among women in Uganda. Intimate partner violence (IPV) is globally recognized for its adverse effects on sexual and reproductive health, but research in low- and middle-income countries, particularly Uganda, remains limited. We analyzed population-based data from the Africa Medical and Behavioral Sciences Organization (AMBSO) collected during the 2019 in Uganda.
