A review of studies in areas of sub-Saharan Africa with high and stable malaria transmission shows that HIV-1 infection and clinically diagnosed AIDS increased the incidence of malaria 1.2-fold and 2fold, respectively (Korenromp et al. Achieving high coverage of insecticide-treated bed nets (ITNs) use and prompt access to treatment with artemisininbased combination treatments (ACTs) would contribute to the reduction in the morbidity and Source: WHO-AFRO (2004) mortality attributable to HIV co-infection with malaria in high transmission areas.	./cache/cord-023884-etkhrgxp.txt	./txt/cord-023884-etkhrgxp.txt
