There is strong evidence of the association between being a survivor of domestic violence (DV) and the risk of acquiring HIV. Unfortunately, DV advocates often fail to adequately address this risk. Data from an online survey with a national convenience sample of 677 DV advocates from throughout the United States and territories were used to examine current practices and beliefs about HIV and DV. Encouragingly, advocates reported feeling comfortable discussing sex-related topics with their clients and largely rejected stigmatizing attitudes toward people living with HIV. However, only 16% of the advocates reported regularly engaging in at least half of the HIV prevention practices measured. Barriers to such practices were explored. Findings suggest advocates need further training and organizational supports to adequately address HIV with clients. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved)
