Intimate partner violence (IPV) increases a woman's risk of HIV, and HIV can increase a woman's risk of intimate partner violence. While both issues are prominent in communities, collaboration between agencies that serve each population does not intrinsically exist. This half-day national training sponsored by the Office on Women's Health will give front-line advocates from both communities tangible tools to assist survivors of intimate partner violence with accessing information about and resources for HIV and IPV. Our goal is to strengthen community collaboration, enhance services and safety planning, and create integrated client-centered services for survivors of IPV and/or HIV.

What participants will learn:

• research demonstrating the link between ipv and hiv/aids
• basic information on vaw, ipv, hiv/aids, and hiv prevention
• current data about ipv
• current data about hiv/aids
• federal, state, and local ipv and hiv laws and guidelines
• how to identify hiv risk behaviors
• how to identify ipv
• how to integrate risk reduction plans into safety planning
• potential barriers to providing i ntegrated violence and hiv/aids services
• how to develop shared resources and referrals
• what client-centered integrated ipv/hiv services look like
