Malaria and HIV/AIDS Co-infections
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF CURRENT RESEARCH IN MEDICAL SCIENCES - Year 2015, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Malaria and HIV/AIDS are the major priority medical challenges facing sub-Saharan Africa in general and Ethiopia in particular and yet little has been known so far on the clinical and public health implications of HIV and Malaria coinfection. Even if the statistical effect is modest, any interaction between these two infections would have public health significance. The study concluded that the current HIV prevalence among P.faciparum malaria patients was not different from the HIV seroprevalence in the general population in the area, based on the prevalence findings from the national sentinel reports. No strong evidence suggesting an association between HIV and malaria was identified. The need for further studies with improved methodologies and designs is emphasized.
