Intimate partner violence (IPV) and HIV are correlated and endemic in South Africa. However, safety strategy use to prevent IPV among HIV-positive women is understudied. This study assesses correlates of specific safety strategy use among 166 Black South African women recently experiencing IPV and testing positive for HIV. Associations were observed between consultation with formal (i.e., counselors, clergy, IPV specialists) and informal networks (i.e., friends/family) and participant language (isiZulu, isiXhosa, Sesotho, and English), past year IPV, and engaging in HIV care. Future HIV-IPV programs should consider how characteristics of different IPV safety strategies may influence strategy uptake and ultimately HIV care.

亲密伴侣暴力 (IPV) 和艾滋病毒在南非相互关联并流行。然而，在 HIV 阳性妇女中使用安全策略预防 IPV 的研究不足。本研究评估了 166 名最近经历 IPV 且 HIV 检测呈阳性的南非黑人妇女使用特定安全策略的相关性。在与正式（即辅导员、神职人员、IPV 专家）和非正式网络（即朋友/家人）和参与者语言（isi祖鲁语、isi科萨语、塞索托语和英语）、过去一年的 IPV 和参与在艾滋病毒护理中。未来的 HIV-IPV 项目应该考虑不同 IPV 安全策略的特征如何影响策略的采用并最终影响 HIV 护理。
