Limited data exists on intimate partner violence (IPV) among transgender women (TW), though global trends suggest IPV is associated with HIV risk in this population. We describe the prevalence of verbal, physical, and/or sexual violence as well as participant- and partner-level correlates of IPV among TW in Lima, Peru. Among 389 respondents, 15.2% reported IPV with one or more of their last three sexual partners: 9.2% verbal, 8.2% physical, and 2.3% sexual violence. Physical and verbal violence were more common with stable partners (aPR 3.46, 95% CI 1.17–10.25, aPR 2.46, 95% CI 1.14–5.28, respectively). Physical violence was associated with condomless receptive anal intercourse (cRAI) (aPR 2.22, 95% CI 1.19–4.13) and partner alcohol use (aPR 4.38, 95% CI 1.56–12.33) while verbal violence correlated with participant inebriation (aPR 4.86, 95% CI 1.63–14.46). Our results link IPV with stable partnerships, alcohol use, and cRAI, suggesting TW in Peru may benefit from multidimensional IPV prevention strategies to foster supportive relationships and reduce HIV transmission. / amfAR, The Foundation for AIDS Research / Revisión por pares

Ante los cambios producidos en la Enseñanza Superior en Chile, las bibliotecas universitarias han ejecutado diversos proyectos tendientes a innovar y modernizar sus recursos, servicios, espacios y tecnologías. Estos proyectos constituyen un nuevo modelo de biblioteca universitaria, en la cual pueden estar integrados los distintos elementos y características del nuevo modelo de biblioteca universitaria existente en el ámbito de países anglosajones y español, cuyo concepto se denomina Centro de Recursos para el Aprendizaje e Investigación, CRAI. Se presenta el estado del arte del modelo de biblioteca universitaria anglosajón CRAI, especialmente algunos implementados en Estados Unidos, Reino Unido, Australia y España. El objetivo principal de este estudio es identificar las características del modelo de bibliotecas universitarias chilenas y establecer el grado de integración del concepto y modelo de CRAI que se encuentra en ellas, así como los principales elementos o características distintivas de este modelo, que podrían o deberían considerarse en reformulaciones o nuevos proyectos de biblioteca universitaria en Chile. Como metodología se utilizó la encuesta mediante el uso de un cuestionario la cual fue respondida por 25 directivos de las principales Universidades que componen el sistema Universitario chileno. Los resultados evidencian que las bibliotecas universitarias chilenas poseen características que hacen posible la integración parcial o total de algunos de los elementos o características del concepto CRAI. Se presentan finalmente algunas recomendaciones para el futuro proceso de nuevos proyectos o remodelaciones de las bibliotecas universitarias. / Given the changes in higher education in Chile, university libraries have implemented various projects to innovate and upgrade its resources, services, spaces and technologies. These projects represent a new model of university library, which can be integrated the different elements and features of the new model of existing university library in the field of Anglo-Saxon and Spanish, whose concept is called Resource Centre for Learning and Research CRAI. The study presents the state of the art university library Saxon model CRAI, especially some implemented in the U.S., UK, Australia and Spain. The main objective of this study is to identify the characteristic of the Chilean university library model, establish the degree of integration of the concept and CRAI model that is in them, and the main elements or characteristics of this model, which could or should be considered in reformulations or new university library projects in Chile. The methodology uses the survey by use of a questionnaire which was answered by 25 managers of principal universities that make up the Chilean university system. The results show that Chilean university libraries have characteristics that make possible partial or total integration of some elements or features of the concept CRAI. Finally some recommendations are made for new projects or renovations of university libraries.
