In the U.S., HIV continues to disproportionately affect MSM. One promising area of research that may inform the development of behavioral interventions among male-male couples is within the realm of sexual agreements. The purpose of our analysis was to determine whether respondents who report having an open agreement or an agreement breakage also report a higher incidence of recent (<12 month) IPV compared to respondents who report having a monogamous agreement or no agreement breakage after controlling for demographic variables. Results show that men who have an open agreement are less likely to report recent physical IPV. The results highlight the need to develop dyadic behavior interventions that address sexual agreements and stress management.
