Now, researchers have used survey data collected over 12 years in 21 countries in sub-Saharan Africa to explore the associations between HIV infections and heavy rainfall.Experiencing heavy rainfall was associated with higher odds of having HIV, sexually transmitted infections, and more sexual partners in a study involving 288 333 survey respondents—about 60% of them women—published in JAMA Network Open.
