Feasibility and Effectiveness of Cotrimoxazole Prophylaxis for HIV-1-Infected Adults Attending an HIV/AIDS Clinic in Uganda

Abstract

Cotrimoxazole prophylaxis can be introduced into routine HIV clinic activities and is associated with a reduction in overall mortality and malaria morbidity, even in an area with high bacterial resistance. These results reinforce the need for large-scale provision of cotrimoxazole prophylaxis for all HIV-positive patients in developing countries.
