Let's say you are a young healthy man, age 24, living in an African town of 10,000 people with a hospital. One night you go out with friends, you meet a young girl and have unprotected sex. While out that night, you were also stung by a malaria-carrying mosquito. You now have malaria and HIV. You probably won't know you have HIV yet, but, being African, you will recognize quickly the symptoms of malaria (high fever etc.). You go to the hospital to get quinine. So now you are feeling better...you go home to rest. But in a few days you still have a fever and you die.

Both malaria and HIV can be prevented, but malaria works a lot faster. With a little effort and planning, you can keep yourself out of harms way. But in the end malaria will kill you before HIV.

My vote is malaria.

I usually call my worst friend my enemy, it saves words. Anyway, Malaria is definitely worse than HIV right now. The reason you hear so much more about HIV is that it affects rich white Americans, whereas Malaria only kills people in the third world who have no money, so generally they get less attention. Sad but true. Additionally, malaria has been killing people for hundreds of years, whereas HIV was not even a disease until the 1970s.

Okay, when you talk about one individual with unlimited resources, then the answer is that HIV/AIDS is worse because it is uncurable. Then if you talk about public heath, then it depends on the population described. If you're talking about the UK, then the only endemic disease there is HIV - so HIV would be worse. Now if you're talking about the world in general, then you should really chose the disease that affect the most people. That would be malaria. While malaria is treatable, many people across the world don't have access to appropriate treatment and are still living in endemic areas (so they can get re-infected). Regarding the answer that HIV/AIDS is a myth, it maked me sad to see some people would prefer to think HIV/AIDS is a conspiracy. I wish they could witness the men and women who die of this disease without ever receiving treatment.

I don't know what the treatment for malaria is, but if you have HIV, the chances are slim to none that you'll get rid of it.
I'd say, you can't control getting malaria from a mosquito, but you can control getting HIV from using used needles and what ever other way they have out there.
If you've ever seen someone with aids you would never wish it on anyone. It's a very sad way to live.

for me i go for HIV. i once lived in a third world country. and in my place a lot of people have it, my dad and my sister have that too. but you can prevent it. use mosquito nets, eat proper diet and you can survive, unlike hiv... you can get it from blood...

> i'm sorry but i can't get your question... : "malaria vs Hiv is man worst friend" i think there's no better friend from any of those... but if you mean which is the wort enemy?

>malaria is curable... while aids is not. once you have it you have it in your body.
