A total of 242 participants were recruited, with a male-to-female ratio of 1:2, and a median age of 49.5(IQR: 40 - 58) years. The prevalence of malaria infection was 10.7% (95% CI: 7.2-14.2) by microscopy and 12.4% (95% CI: 8.5-17.2) by mRDT. Independent factors associated with malaria infection were living in rural areas (aOR=2.81, 95% CI=1.06-7.45, p=0.038), poor adherence to Anti-Retroviral Therapy (aOR=3.66, 95% CI=1.04-12.7, p=0.043), HIV viral load of ≥1000 copies/mL (aOR=3.2, 95% CI=1.00-10.5, p=0.02, CD4 count ≤350 cells/µL (aOR=2.8, 95% CI=1.10-7.30, p=0.03). While using mosquito nets (aOR=0.27, 95% CI=0.08-0.90, p=0.033) and receiving health education (aOR=0.26, 95% CI=0.09-0.71, p=0.009) were protective factors.
