Malaria and HIV, two of the world’s most deadly diseases, are widespread, but their distribution overlaps greatly in sub-Saharan Africa. Consequently, malaria and HIV coinfection (MHC) is common in the region. In this paper, pertinent publications on the prevalence, impact, and treatment strategie...s of MHC obtained by searching major electronic databases (PubMed, PubMed Central, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, and Scopus) were reviewed, and it was found that the prevalence of MHC in SSA was 0.7%–47.5% overall. Prevalence was 0.7%–47.5% in nonpregnant adults, 1.2%–27.8% in children, and 0.94%–37% in pregnant women. MHC was associated with an increased frequency of clinical parasitemia and severe malaria, increased parasite and viral load, and impaired immunity to malaria in nonpregnant adults, children, and pregnant women, increased in placental malaria and related outcomes in pregnant women, and impaired antimalarial drug efficacy in nonpregnant adults and pregnant women. Although a few cases of adverse events have been reported in coinfected patients receiving antimalarial and antiretroviral drugs concurrently, available data are very limited and have not prompted major revision in treatment guidelines for both diseases. Artemisinin-based combination therapy and cotrimoxazole are currently the recommended drugs for treatment and prevention of malaria in HIV-infected children and adults. However, concurrent administration of cotrimoxazole and sulfadoxine–pyrimethamine in HIV-infected pregnant women is not recommended, because of high risk of sulfonamide toxicity. Further research is needed to enhance our understanding of the impact of malaria on HIV, drug–drug interactions in patients receiving antimalarials and antiretroviral drugs concomitantly, and the development of newer, safer, and more cost-effective drugs and vaccines to prevent malaria in HIV-infected pregnant women.

Malaria is a significant risk for travelers to endemic regions. This patient information highlights essential prevention through mosquito protection and, when indicated, chemoprophylaxis with Atovaquone/Proguanil, Doxycycline, or Mefloquine. Emergency self-treatment options may be carried in specifi...c settings. Travelers are advised to follow medication schedules carefully, use consistent bite protection, and seek immediate medical care if fever occurs during or after travel. Early recognition and treatment are crucial to prevent severe or life-threatening complications.

The website "Bereit zu Reisen" provides comprehensive guidance on malaria prophylaxis for travelers to endemic regions. It emphasizes preventive strategies, including mosquito bite avoidance through protective clothing, insect repellents, and sleeping under treated nets. In addition, the site detail...s chemoprophylaxis options, explaining recommended medications, dosing schedules, and duration of use before, during, and after travel. Emergency self-treatment procedures are also outlined for situations where immediate medical care is unavailable. Overall, the resource serves as a practical reference for travelers, combining evidence-based recommendations on exposure prevention, medication use, and prompt response to potential malaria symptoms to ensure safe and healthy travel.

To mark the International Day of the African Child, Medicines for Malaria Venture (MMV) celebrated the inclusion of three of its antimalarial medicines on the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines (EML) and the EML for Children (EMLc). These are two artemisinin-based combination therapies (ACTs) for... adults, children and infants, and a rectal artesunate formulation for the pre-referral treatment of severe malaria in young children. The approved therapies — pyronaridine–artesunate, dihydroartemisinin–piperaquine and rectal artesunate — offer child-friendly formulations and are the first-line treatment for uncomplicated malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum and P. vivax. Inclusion in the EMLc facilitates national adoption, improves access to high-quality treatments and addresses the disproportionate malaria burden among children under five. This supports global efforts to reduce malaria mortality and advance elimination.
