Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

HIV patients are likely to suffer from opportunistic infections, in absence of highly active retroviral therapy. This happens due to lack of awareness of HIV status among patients or unresponsive to anti retroviral drugs. This study is for the prevalence of AIDS defining OIs among treatment naive HIV patients.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Oppotunistic infections (OIs) happen in persons with weakened immune system. HIV patients, who remain untreated due to lack of knowledge of existing HIV infections, often get OIs. HIV patients with AIDS defining OIs fall into stage 3 of HIV illness. Prevalence of OIs in resource poor settings are tuberculosis (pulmonary and extra pulmonary), toxoplasmosis, cryptococcosis, and oesophageal candidiasis. There are a few data to show AIDS defining OIs in treatment naïve HIV patients. Incidence of OIs among HIV patients in United States, and Canada between 2000 to 2019 was 9%. Leading OIs were peumocystis Jiroveci, oesophageal candidiasis and disseminated MAC or M. kansassi.

Minimal diagnoses at poor settings can be made by observation of symptoms, use of microscope, imaging and diagnostic therapy.
