A study examined the long-term effects of different types of intimate partner violence (IPV) on cognitive function in South African women living with HIV. Researchers used mixed linear models to compare cognitive scores between women exposed to IPV and those unexposed. The study found no significant differences in cognition at the start or after one year. However, significant interactions were observed between time and specific IPV types—such as physical assault and sexual coercion—affecting attention and working memory. Women exposed to IPV showed no cognitive improvement over time. The findings highlight the importance of IPV screening for women with HIV to enhance support and tailor interventions.
