Epidemiological
HIV in Africa was prevalent in the cities and almost non-existent in
rural areas. Malaria, on the other hand, is prevalent in the
countryside and uncommon in the cities.
Conclusions
There are two main reasons for the prevalence of AIDS in Africa.
The first of these is the distribution of AIDS cases in African
countries. Studies have shown that AIDS is more common in cities
than in rural areas. Since malaria is not common in cities, there is
little chance of an HIV-malaria interaction. Also, factors which
promote sexual transmission (i.e., large localized human
population, greater wealth available for paid sexual liaisons ) are
present in cities, thus hastening the spread of HIV.
