Social & cultural factors that increase HIV risk in Madagascar, and why the country's HIV prevalence may be on the increase.
Ailie Tam, former HIV specialist for Azafady and now HIV Care Manager at the Terrence Higgins Trust, will talk about lessons learnt from her experience in Madagascar and her research findings. She will illustrate the socio-cultural factors which increase the risk of pregnant and married women contracting HIV in southern Madagascar.
Despite the prevalence of HIV being currently low in Madagascar, Ailie will explain why there is cause for concern that Madagascar may be following in the footsteps of other African countries.
