Abstract
Gay and bisexual male victims of domestic violence present social service providers with a complex array of problems related to their being both battered and, in many cases, affected by HIV disease. Service providers need to be aware of the issues these men face and be able to help them cope with both epidemics. Accepting a man's victimization as real, regardless of the size, weight, and health status of his partner is a necessary first step. Understanding that HIV does not cause battering but can be an ominous weapon of control is crucial. It is also necessary to understand the impact that HIV has on a man's decision to remain with or leave his violent partner; a decision that may differ given the particular HIV status of the victim and/or his battering partner.
