SOAR analyzed previously collected quantitative cohort data from the Population Council’s Malawi Schooling and Adolescent study to identify the factors associated with prevalence and incidence of HIV and HSV-2 (herpes simplex virus, commonly referred to as genital herpes). The key findings presented in this brief provide a deeper understanding of the epidemiological and gendered context of the HIV epidemic in Malawi to inform DREAMS programming in the country.
