Staying Healthy and Reducing Transmission Gap
Interventions are needed to mitigate adverse events such as stigma or violence when women disclose their serostatus to their partners. [See also %{c:21}] A study found that women who disclosed their positive serostatus to their sexual partners feared abandonment; fear that the relationship would end; and fear of stigma. Of women who disclosed their positive serostatus to their partner, 59.3% experienced a negative reaction, such as violence, break-up of the relationship, being blamed, stigma and abandonment.

Additional evidence- and rights-based interventions are needed for couples counseling in sero-discordant relationships; counseling that clearly explains serodiscordance and can identify women at risk of violence and make appropriate links to other services. While WHO issued recommendations on couples testing and counseling (WHO, 2012g), more evidence-based interventions are needed for counseling for couples in sero-discordant relationships. These interventions may need to differ by sex, as in one study, women living with HIV were likely to report an HIV-negative or unknown serostatus partner and men living with HIV were more likely to report multiple sexual partners.
