- Abstract
HIV-1 and malaria are common infections in Africa, and cause substantial morbidity and mortality. HIV infection has been associated with an increased incidence of malaria, and more severe disease. Our aim was to assess the effect of antiretroviral treatment (ART) on the frequency of clinical malaria in people with HIV, and to measure the additive effects of co-trimoxazole (trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole) prophylaxis, ART, and insecticide-treated bednets.
