The objectives are to determine the frequency of HIV/Malaria co-infection in blood of HIV infected individuals, to examine the relationship between HIV/Malaria co-infections and to describe the socio-demographic features and determine the risk correlates associated with HIV/Malaria transmission. Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa with nearly 3% HIV frequency, and it belongs to the West-Central African key region where the broadest diversity of HIV exists. Unfortunately, the sub-Saharan Africa that houses the majority of people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) and in need of treatment and therapeutic monitoring is also home to a greatest genetic diversity of HIV-1 subtypes. |
