access and retention in care for people living with HIV/AIDS. This review aims to quantify …

Mortality rates are high in antiretroviral therapy (ART) programmes in sub-Saharan Africa,
especially during the first few months of treatment. Tuberculosis (TB) has been identified as …

Background Very few data are available on treatment outcomes of adolescents living with
HIV infection (whether perinatally acquired or sexually acquired) in sub-Saharan Africa. The …

SETTING: Recent studies suggest that the prevalence of drug-resistant tuberculosis (TB) in

Background Studies have shown that early ART initiation in TB/HIV co-infected patients
lowers mortality. One way to implement earlier ART commencement could be through …

In this study, we investigated the causes of death and the factors associated with mortality in
a cohort of patients receiving highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) in Burkina Faso …

Background: Monitoring and evaluation of antiretroviral treatment (ART) scale-up has been

Factors predicting suboptimal CD4 cell recovery have been studied in HIV clade-B infected
US and European populations. It is, however, uncertain to what extent these results are …
