Sex Differences in Patterns of Migration and HIV Risk in Western Kenya
Sex Differences in Patterns of Migration and HIV Risk in Western Kenya
Abstract
Research on the role of migration in the spread of HIV/AIDS has almost exclusively focused on male labor migration patterns, finding migration to be a risk factor for men and their non-migrant partners, yet neglecting to measure the HIV risks of migration for women. Moreover, the very manner in which migration is conventionally studied is shaped by the paradigm of male labor migration, and thus fails to capture the complexity of women's mobility in sub-Saharan Africa today.

Effect of Malaria Chemoprevention on Naturally Acquired T-Cell Mediated Immunity to Malaria
Effect of Malaria Chemoprevention on Naturally Acquired T-Cell Mediated Immunity to Malaria
Abstract
Malaria is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality among children in Uganda. The clinical presentation of malaria is modulated by the natural development of acquired immunity, which develops slowly, wanes rapidly, and is poorly understood. A more thorough understanding of natural immunity to malaria and its development during early childhood is needed to inform development of an effective vaccine.

Property Rights and HIVIAIDS Prevention: Examining the Impact of a Community Land and Property WatchDog Model In Nyanza and Western Provinces, Kenya
Property Rights and HIVIAIDS Prevention: Examining the Impact of a Community Land and Property WatchDog Model In Nyanza and Western Provinces, Kenya
Abstract
Poverty and gender inequality are two core structural factors that shape women's vulnerability to HIV/AIDS. Recent research demonstrates that access to and control over assets such as property can empower women, provide them with a secure means of livelihood, prevent food insecurity, and improve household bargaining power, all of which mitigate the negative effects of HIV/AIDS. However, little work has intervened at the intersection of property rights and HIV/AIDS prevention.
