I'm six weeks pregnant i want to go to maputo - mozambique for weekending so i would like to know if i must get treatment for malaria?

Malaria medications: At six weeks of pregnancy, going to a region where malaria is prevalent, you should be taking malaria prophylaxis medications even for a "weekend" exposure. Malaria can affect a growing fetus, especially in the first trimester.
