All three provinces arelocated in the zones with the greatest malaria density, with endemic malaria year‐round. Bednetuse for HIV‐infected adults in Eastern and Rift Valley provinces was moderate at 31.8% and28.6%, respectively. Central province had the lowest bednet use at 15.2%. Central and Easternprovinces are located in seasonal malaria zones, and the highlands of the Rift Valley are prone toperiodic malaria epidemics.Use of ITNs among HIV‐infected persons also differed significantly by province and followed asimilar distribution observed for general bednet use. Nyanza (29.6%), Western (28.4%) and Coast(23.8%) provinces again the highest use of ITNs among HIV‐infected adults. Use of ITNs wassubstantially lower in Eastern, Rift Valley and Central provinces. Nairobi is considered malariafree, although bednets are available. Among HIV‐infected adults in Nairobi, general mosquito netuse was 35.5% and ITN use was 12.1%.Bednet use among HIV‐infected adults was similar in rural (45.0%) and urban areas (46.6%),excluding Nairobi. Though ITN use was greater among HIV‐infected adults in urban areascompared to rural areas (27.3% and 18.7%, respectively), this difference was marginallysignificant.<strong>KAIS</strong> <strong>2007</strong> 211
