Abstract
Higher intimate partner violence significantly predicted HIV medication nonadherence among 258 Black women living with HIV. Greater physical, sexual, and emotional intimate partner violence (IPV) was significantly associated with adherence barriers and individual reasons for missed medication, indicating IPV significantly contributes to disrupted medication adherence behaviors.
