%X The objective of this study was to investigate factors associated with intimate partner violence after disclosing the diagnosis of sexually transmissible diseases (STDs) in Fortaleza, Ceará State, Brazil. This cross-sectional study enrolled 221 individuals treated at STD clinics. Multivariate logistic regression was performed. A total of 28.1% of individuals committed some type of intimate partner violence after disclosure of the diagnosis. Committing intimate partner violence was associated with alcohol use (OR = 2.79; 95%CI: 1.25-6.22; p = 0.012), the partner having relations with someone else during the current relationship (OR = 4.71; 95%CI: 2.24-9.91; p = 0.000), a history of violence prior to the STD (OR = 2.87; 95%CI: 1.22-6.73; p = 0.015), and having suffered violence after diagnosis of the STD (OR = 6.53; 95%CI: 3.06-13.93; p = 0.000). Intimate partner violence following disclosure of the STD signals that health professionals should identify patients' difficulties in revealing an STD diagnosis to their partners.<p /> <p>Language: pt</p>
