The present study examined partner-related risk factors for STIs and risky sexual behaviours among an urban sample of African American women. Methods: African American women, between 18 and 29 years (n = 848), participated in the study at baseline. Participants completed a 40-min Audio Computer Assisted Survey Interview assessing sociodemographics, partner-related factors and HIV\/STI-associated sexual risk behaviours. Subsequently, participants provided two vaginal swab specimens for STIs. Results: The findings indicated that risky sexual behaviours and STIs were prevalent in this sample: 35.6% reported a risky sexual partner, 65.4% reported inconsistent condom use and 17% tested positive for a laboratory-confirmed STI. Women reporting a history of intimate partner violence were more likely to report risky sexual partners (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) = 2.00; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.5\u20132.8), inconsistent condom use (AOR = 1.60; 95% CI = 1.1\u20132.3) and test positive for an STI (AOR = 1.46; 95% CI = 0.99\u20132.1). Women reporting high partner-related barriers to condom use were more likely to report risky sexual partners (AOR = 1.69; 95% CI = 1.2\u20132.3), inconsistent condom use (AOR = 2.13; 95% CI = 1.5\u20133.0) and test positive for an STI (AOR = 1.98; 95% CI = 1.3\u20133.0). Finally, women with older partners were more likely to report risky sexual partners (AOR = 1.53; 95% CI = 1.1\u20132.1) and test positive for an STI (AOR = 1.46; 95% CI = 1.0\u20132.2). Conclusions: This study examines partner-related risk factors for STIs and risky sexual behaviours among African American women. These findings underscore the need for combined intimate partner violence and HIV\/STI prevention programs for this disproportionately affected high-risk group.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1071\/sh08075","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,2,15]],"date-time":"2010-02-15T00:05:27Z","timestamp":1266192327000},"page":"25-30","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":75,"title":["Intimate partner violence and other partner-related factors: correlates of sexually transmissible infections and risky sexual behaviours among young adult African American women"],"prefix":"10.1071","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Puja","family":"Seth","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"ADepartment of Behavioral Sciences and Health Education, Rollins School of Public Health, Emory University, 1518 Clifton Road NE, Atlanta, GA 30332, USA."},{"name":"BEmory Center for AIDS Research, Social and Behavioral Sciences Core, 1518 Clifton Road NE, Atlanta, GA 30332, USA."},{"name":"DCorresponding author.
