| Abstract | We examine the association between history of violence and risk for HIV infection among incarcerated women. Specifically, we consider physical violence and rape as they relate to unprotected sex with male primary and nonprimary (male or female) sexual partners among a sample of HIV negative female inmates (n = 1,588) housed in Connecticut's sole correctional facility for women between November 1994 and October 1996. |
