Although domestic abuse and HIV are two separate issues prevalent in today’s society, studies have found a unique intersection between domestic abuse survivors and people living with HIV.

domestic abuse survivors are 4x’s more likely to contract sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including HIV. Coercive partners frequently put survivors at risk by using unsafe and violent sexual practices to gain control. In relationships that involve sexual abuse, condoms will rarely be used, and abusers may even intentionally infect survivors with STIs as a means of preventing that person from escaping the relationship.

Victim blaming is defined as someone saying, implying, or treating a person who has experienced harmful or abusive behaviour (such as a survivor of domestic violence) like it was a result of something they did or said, instead of placing the responsibility where it belongs: on the person who harmed them.

Why is it bad?
Victim blaming not only discourages survivors from coming forward for fear they’ll be blamed, it also actively shifts focus away from holding the person doing harm accountable.

Feeling lost in your relationship?

What should you do if you no longer feel like yourself, or if this relationship has made you feel like you don't even know who you are anymore?

First, breathe, take some time for yourself. Remember what used to make you happy, and go do it.
Spend some time with those who are most important to you. Reconnect with family and friends.

Work on the things that are important to you and seek out things you haven't tried before.

If you feel the relationship shouldn't continue, make sure to end the relationship safely. Think about where you will be when you have that conversation, and if you would want to continue a friendship with the person after or not.

Our advocates are always here to assist you 24/7 via call or text at our hotline 904-225-9979.

Did you know that August includes National Financial Awareness Day? FLDVC is offering a new training for advocates, community members, and business owners titled “Cha-ching! The Financial Cost of Domestic Violence” on August 26th, 10a-11:30a.

This training explores the complex and often overlooked issue of domestic violence affecting our economy. Participants will begin by defining domestic violence, the unique monetary challenges faced by victims and society, including how abusers use money to hurt their partners, financial costs, and how money keeps survivors in abusive relationships. We will also discuss how domestic violence affects businesses, their bottom line, and what they can do to help.
