Sexual violence and dislocation as social risk factors involved in the acquisition of HIV among women in Manitoba

This project provides a more comprehensive understanding of social factors and environment on HIV risk behaviours among Manitoba women. Research is needed to develop a better understanding of why Aboriginal women migrate to urban centres, how and whether they connect with services upon arrival and how these patterns are influenced by victimization, substance abuse and reliance on income from the sex trade. It is within this context that the authors focused on the experience of violence, economic hardship and relocation/dislocation as they relate to HIV risk.
