85% of HIV+ People Experience Domestic Violence

The Estimated Percentage of Domestic Violence Among HIV-Positive People is 85%. Domestic violence (DV) disproportionately affects people living with HIV, driven by stigma, social isolation, and the trauma of transmission often linked to sexual assault, rape, or deception. Globally, HIV-positive individuals face heightened DV risk due to fear of status disclosure and societal judgment, which traps them in abusive relationships.
