Despite recent calls to integrate HIV testing into social services addressing intimate partner violence (IPV), few studies have reported on survivors’ perspectives regarding the desired characteristics of this integration. The purpose of this study was to describe desired characteristics of HIV and sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing services from a survivor’s perspective. A qualitative descriptive approach was taken to describe the perspectives of IPV survivors who may or may not have accessed this service. Four focus groups were conducted with a diverse sample of English and Spanish speakers (N = 25) who sought services through a family justice center and associated shelters. Focus groups were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using conventional content analysis. Three themes were identified, including (1) peace of mind; (2) interacting stigmas and traumas; and (3) making testing easy, comfortable, and tailored. The findings of this study have the potential to influence survivor-centered practices and policies regarding the integration of culturally informed HIV/STI and IPV services.

接受社会服务的亲密伴侣暴力的不同幸存者中 HIV 检测和咨询的期望特征

尽管最近呼吁将 HIV 检测纳入解决亲密伴侣暴力 (IPV) 的社会服务，但很少有研究报告幸存者对这种整合所需特征的看法。本研究的目的是从幸存者的角度描述 HIV 和性传播感染 (STI) 检测服务的期望特征。采用定性描述方法来描述可能或可能未访问过该服务的 IPV 幸存者的观点。四个焦点小组由不同样本的英语和西班牙语使用者（N = 25）进行，他们通过家庭司法中心和相关庇护所寻求服务。使用传统的内容分析方法记录、转录和分析焦点小组。确定了三个主题，包括（1）安心；(2) 相互影响的污名和创伤；(3) 使测试变得简单、舒适和量身定制。本研究的结果有可能影响以幸存者为中心的实践和政策，以整合具有文化知识的 HIV/STI 和 IPV 服务。
