Abstract
This study occurred in the context of three problems that have arisen within the South African HIV/AIDS crisis: the prevalent HIV and tubertulosis (TB) co-epidemic, the concern that antiretroviral (ARV) provision might compromise the existing TB control programme, and that the Western Cape's current limited vertical model of ARV roll-out will soon reach capacity. This study evaluated whether and how TB control changed following ARV introduction in a Cape Town primary care TB clinic and explored the process of integration of the TB and ARV services in the clinic.
