Abstract

Within many sub-Saharan African countries including Malawi, HIV prevalence varies widely between regions.This variability may be related to the distribution of population groups with specific sociobehavioural characteristics that influ-ence the transmission of HIV and the uptake of prevention. In this study, we intended to identify groups of people in Malawiwith similar risk profiles.
