Abstract
The high burden of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) related chronic diarrhoea diseases (CDD) has strained the meager resources of the health sector and yet the effectiveness of management strategies leaves much to be desired. As study was done at a university teaching hospital (UTH) in Lusaka to evaluate two management strategies for these patients. The first strategy involved managing patients without investigations, while the other included investigations in the management strategy.
