Epidemiology of HIV/AIDS in adults in Malawi.

We searched for references of published literature about Malawi through Pubmed and obtained full text papers from HINARI, Popline, EBSCO, journals ́ open access initiatives, local libraries, and – through the gratefully acknowledged help of Dr. Ian Holtby libraries in the UK. Non peer-reviewed published documents were obtained from the documentation centres of the Ministry of Health, National AIDS Commission, College of Medicine and UN and through Popline. Local researchers were contacted to provide additional grey literature. The Cochrane library was used (through HINARI and the free WHO Reproductive Health Library) for information on the current state of effective interventions for HIV/ AIDS.
