Women who experience violence and are at risk for HIV/AIDS are a multiply marginalized population which the majority of service providers ignore or feel they do not have the resources to deal with. Furthermore, while the Canadian government issues reports on violence against women, it does not provide an analysis of the intersection between violence HIV/AIDS. Women who are at risk for HIV due to injection drug use are particularly vulnerable when in a violent relationship; most women’s shelters have zero tolerance policies for substance use leaving these women isolated. By examining how substance use increases HIV risk for women who experience violence, the high risk behaviors associated with violence, and the high risk behaviors associated with substance use, multiply marginalized women’s needs become clearer. Service providers for multiply marginalized women must always consider the ramifications of their policies, as well as the ideologies that their policies are based on so that they can effectively help their target population. To address the needs of multiply marginalized women, drastic changes need to be made to the current shelter system: shelters need to examine their ideological foundation and analyze what stigmas their current policies support. Coordinated efforts are needed between multiple service providers to address the challenges that these often forgotten women face.

More than half of all new HIV infections occur among individuals under 25 years of age. Though knowledgeable about HIV/AIDS, many college students still practice high-risk behaviors. Consequently, colleges and universities must be vigilant when it comes to intervention strategies.

Hiv Aids

This study explored different types of high risk behaviors of Mexican-American college students attending a small university in south Texas. High risk behaviors for contracting HIV/AIDS examined in this study included unprotected sex, drug use, and alcohol abuse. In 1995 in the United States, HIV/AIDS is the leading cause of death in people between the ages of 25 and 44. Because use of alcohol and certain recreational drugs lowers inhibitions, their use could increase the possibility of having unprotected and unplanned sex with multiple partners. Thus, it was expected that Mexican-American college students who use drugs and alcohol would be more likely to engage in unprotected sex. Data were from 105 men and 211 women between the ages of 18 and 30 years. Drug use and alcohol abuse were significantly associated with high risk sexual behavior. Individuals in monogamous relationships were more likely to not use condoms than those involved in casual relationships. Self-reported religiosity was not correlated with high risk behaviors, although there were implications that stronger religious affiliation did alter sexual beliefs and practices. Lastly, parental communication was not significantly associated with high risk behaviors, but family unity did seem related to some risky sexual practices.

Direction Of Effects

Abstract. In family systems, it is possible for one to put oneself at risk by eliciting aversive, high-risk behaviors from others ( Cook, Kenny, & Goldstein, 1991 ). Consequently, it is desirable that family assessments should clarify the direction of effects when evaluating family dynamics. In this paper a new method of family assessment will be presented that identifies bidirectional influence processes in family relationships. Based on the Social Relations Model (SRM: Kenny & La Voie, 1984 ), the SRM Family Assessment provides information about the give and take of family dynamics at three levels of analysis: group, individual, and dyad. The method will be briefly illustrated by the assessment of a family from the PIER Program, a randomized clinical trial of an intervention to prevent the onset of psychosis in high-risk young people.
