As you probably know, in many areas of Africa HIV infection is at near epidemic levels. Those who are HIV positive will die quicker should they contract malaria.

Conversely, in certain types of malaria, the patient never truly gets rid of the disease. The malarial symptoms will reoccur periodically. Should these patients become infected with HIV they will die quicker. HIV and malaria have really done a number on the populations of Africa.

My Boy Scout troop leader in the '70s was a Marine on Guadalcanal. 30 years later he still had occasional malarial fevers.
