IPV
Injected polio prevention
IPV is intimate partner violence—physical, sexual, psychological, or economic abuse between current or former romantic partners.
The term encompasses domestic violence, dating violence, and spousal abuse regardless of gender or whether partners live together.
In public health contexts, IPV appears in research and policy discussions: IPV rates increased during the pandemic lockdowns.
