SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
One way of accounting for the lower rates of HIV infection in predominantly Muslim areas of the world is to consider the degree of tolerance for geographical regions that might allow community members to engage in practices specifically forbidden by the religion, whose proscriptions might offer some degree of protection against sexually transmitted diseases. Predominantly Muslim areas of Nigeria exhibit a lower tolerance for such spaces, which also tend to be highly segregated by ethnicity, religion, and gender. As the largest city in northern Nigeria, and the largest city in the savannah/Sahel region of Africa, Kano offers a somewhat higher degree of tolerance for such spaces compared to non-urban Muslim areas, and correspondingly Kano has a somewhat more elevated rate of seroprevalence than predominantly non-urban Muslim communities have.
