Background. To assess the effects of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection on susceptibility to malaria, we compared the incidence rates of malaria by HIV type 1 (HIV-1) serostatus, baseline blood HIV-1 RNA concentration, and baseline CD4 cell count, over the course of a malaria season.Methods. We followed a cohort of 349 adults in Malawi. For the 224 HIV-1-seropositive adults (64% of the cohort), we measured HIV-1 RNA concentration (n = 187) and CD4 cell count (n = 184) at baseline. Parasitemia n=187 n=184 was defined as presence of asexual parasites on a thick film of blood and was treated with sulfadoxine/pyrimethamine (SP), in accordance with national policy. Hazard ratios (HRs) of parasitemia were estimated using Cox regression. Demographics were adjusted for.Results. HIV-1 seropositivity was associated with parasitemia (adjusted HR, 1.8 [95% confidence interval {CI}, 1.2 - 2.7] for a first parasitemia episode; adjusted HR, 2.5 [95% CI, 1.5 - 4.2] for a second parasitemia episode [114 days after the first episode]; adjusted HR, 1.9 [95% CI, 1.4 - 2.6] for parasitemia overall).
