Abstract:

Prison same-sex sexualities have largely gone unnoticed in Malawi, an African nation associated with politicized homophobia. The term ‘politicized homophobia’ refers to political elites’ public hostility toward same-sex sexualities, gender variance, and gender and sexual diversity activism. In a context typified by scrutiny of same-sex sexualities, it is surprising that certain same-sex sexual practices, specifically prison same-sex sexualities, escaped rebuke and attention in news media, which play an important role in circulating discourses of politicized homophobia in contemporary African n

Abstract:

How might policies that promote marriage and/or dissuade divorce help in the fight against HIV/AIDS? This question is addressed employing a choice-theoretic general equilibrium search model, using Malawi as a case study. In the framework developed, individuals can choose between married and single life. A single person can select among abstinence and sex with or without a condom. The results suggest that marriage-friendly policies can help to abate HIV/AIDS. The policy predictions that obtain from general equilibrium analysis are compared with those that arise from simulated synthetic field ex

Abstract:

Lack of social support and sex work stigma may hinder STI/HIV prevention for female sex workers (FSW). We explored the associations between sex work stigma and social support with sexual behaviors in Malawi. In 2017, 150 HIV-negative, venue-based FSW completed a behavioral survey containing sex work stigma items and social support. Linear binomial regression models were used to estimate prevalence differences of inconsistent condom use and substance use before sex by social support and stigma. A majority (93%) reported sex work–related internalized stigma. About 50% reported family or friend i

Abstract:

The study compares the association between using the services of commercial sex workers and male HIV seroprevalence in five African countries: Ghana, Kenya, Lesotho, Malawi and Rwanda. The HIV seroprevalence among men who ‘ever paid for sex’ was compared with controls who ‘never paid for sex’. Results were based on 12,929 eligible men, aged 15–59 years, interviewed in Demographic and Health Surveys. The odds ratio of HIV seroprevalence associated with ever paying for sex was 1.89 (95% confidence interval = 1.57–2.28), with only minor differences by country. The results were stable in multivari

Abstract:

Background: Endemic Burkitt lymphoma (eBL) is the most common childhood cancer in Africa and is linked to Plasmodium falciparum (Pf) malaria infection, one of the most common and deadly childhood infections in Africa; however, the role of Pf genetic diversity is unclear. A potential role of Pf genetic diversity in eBL has been suggested by a correlation of age-specific patterns of eBL with the complexity of Pf infection in Ghana, Uganda, and Tanzania, as well as a finding of significantly higher Pf genetic diversity, based on a sensitive molecular barcode assay, in eBL cases than matched contr

Abstract:

AbstractAge at sexual debut is known to have implications for future sexual behaviours and health outcomes, including HIV infection, early pregnancy and maternal mortality, but may also influence educational outcomes. Longitudinal data on schooling and sexual behaviour from a demographic surveillance site in Karonga district, northern Malawi, were analysed for 3153 respondents between the ages of 12 and 25 years to examine the association between sexual debut and primary school dropout, and the role of prior school performance. Time to dropout was modelled using the Fine and Gray survival mode

Abstract Objectives To assess the association between play and interaction, and developmental outcomes in children with moderate acute malnutrition (MAM) in a prospective cohort of hospitalized children in Malawi and Uganda (http://www.chainnetwork.org). Methods Children (age 2– 23 months) requiring hospitalization for acute illness were enrolled from January 2017 till December 2018. Children meeting WHO criteria for MAM by mean upper arm circumference (MUAC) were included in this sub-analysis. Child development was assessed using the Malawi Developmental Assessment Tool at discharge and 180-d

Purpose The purpose of this paper is threefold; first, to show the role played by the United Nations (UN) in the fight against transnational organized crime; second, to analyze two subject areas, commercial sexual exploitation of children and mutilation of albinos, in which the Organization gives voice to the often voiceless victims; and third, to examine the role the UN may or should be called on to play in the postulated cooperation between high-level investigative means and personnel on the ground.

Abstract:

This article uses contemporary Malawian proverbs about gender as a window on connections between structural violence, culture, and AIDS in Malawi. Malawi's colonial and post-colonial history forms the backdrop for considerations of Malawi's changing sexual landscape. The author argues that Malawi's legacy of structural violence, particularly the colonial introduction of male labour migration and massive gender inequalities, irrevocably altered Malawian gender roles. Any attempt to explain Malawi's high rate of AIDS must therefore consider how structural violence became entwined with cultural n
