The effect of antiretroviral treatment on HIV associated tuberculosis incidence and outcomes in the Free State Province, South Africa.
(2013) Timmerman, Venessa; Fairall, Lara; Bachmann, M O
Of people co-infected with HIV and tuberculosis (TB) globally, 79% are in Sub-Saharan Africa. While scale-up of antiretroviral treatment (ART) is reducing mortality in the region, there is little direct evidence of the magnitude of its effect on mortality in people coinfected with TB, or on TB treatment outcomes. There is little evidence on the effect of ART on TB incidence in HIV positive people in South Africa, which has most HIV-TB cases in the region.
