Blantyre, Malawi
We have just arrived Malawi and are ONLY 3 hours late. After 2 days of flying and hanging out at airports (Frankfurt, Germany; Johannesburg, South Africa; and then Blantyre, Malawi) I am extremely exhausted, in need of a shower, and excited to be in what I call the “Mother Land” one more time. This is going to be an incredible 3-week journey of discovery both professionally and personally – I can’t wait!

Republic of Malawi
I'm Sharon Youmans, PharmD, MPH, faculty member in the UCSF School of Pharmacy. This is my story of an extended research project that centers on The Republic of Malawi in southeast Africa. I'm learning how religious groups and traditional healers work to help people with HIV/AIDS and identifying any barriers that Malawians living with HIV/AIDS experience in treatment and care. Malawi is one of Africa's poorest countries. 900,000 of Malawi's 13.6 million population are living with HIV/AIDS.
