Abstract

Women in our sample mostly disclosed to partners despite high IPV burden. The observed association between disclosure to partners and lower depressive symptoms among women diagnosed prior to current pregnancy is consistent with cross-national evidence. A prospective study among pregnant WLHIV is needed to examine longitudinal effects of HIV status disclosure.
