A DNA test in Malawi is showing a shocking trend: 8 out of 10 men who test because they suspect their partner of cheating are not the biological fathers.

But there’s an important twist.

The 80% figure applies specifically to men who seek DNA tests because of suspected infidelity — not all men in Malawi who take DNA tests.

In court-referred paternity cases, about 90% of men tested are confirmed as the biological fathers.

So, is Malawi facing an 80% paternity crisis — or are the numbers simply reflecting the men most likely to request a DNA test? 🤔
