Few studies of intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetration and sexual risk behavior among men have examined how multiple dimensions of these behaviors intersect in ways that may uniquely elevate health risks. The current study used latent class analysis to: (1) identify distinct patterns of IPV and sexual risk behavior in a sample of Tanzanian men (n = 985) and (2) examine associations between identified patterns and health outcomes. Four classes were identified: normative (64% of the sample), IPV only (14%), sexual risk only (13%), and comorbid IPV/sexual risk (5%). Compared to men in the normative subgroup, men in the comorbid group had significantly higher odds of STI infection, higher perceived HIV risk, and greater odds of substance use. Findings provide evidence that engaging in IPV and multiple sexual partnerships (i.e., a comorbid pattern) denotes elevated health risks across a range of indicators, suggesting the importance of targeted treatment and prevention efforts for men in this subgroup.

很少有关于男性亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）实施和性危险行为的研究探讨了这些行为的多个维度如何以可能独特地提高健康风险的方式交叉。当前的研究使用潜在类别分析来：(1) 识别坦桑尼亚男性样本 (n = 985) 中 IPV 和性危险行为的不同模式，以及 (2) 检查已识别模式与健康结果之间的关联。确定了四个类别：正常（样本的 64%）、仅 IPV （14%）、仅性风险（13%）和共病 IPV/性风险（5%）。与正常亚组中的男性相比，共病组中的男性感染性传播感染的几率显着更高，感知到的艾滋病毒风险更高，并且物质使用的几率更高。研究结果提供证据表明，参与 IPV 和多重性伴侣（即共病模式）表明一系列指标的健康风险升高，这表明针对该亚组男性进行有针对性的治疗和预防工作的重要性。
