This article examines the prevalence of recent and lifetime intimate partner violence (IPV) and association with pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) acceptability among women seeking care at an urban family planning clinic (N = 145). We found high prevalence of recent (40%) and lifetime IPV (71%). Almost a third of participants reported being worried about HIV risk, 70% were willing to take PrEP, and 71% of women who disclosed recent IPV were willing to take PrEP. Findings provide direction for research, practice, and policy attention needed around the context of IPV to focus development of a woman-centered PrEP intervention.
