Abstract

The article presents a study on isoniazid tuberculosis preventive therapy (IPT) in Botswana where HIV-infected adults have access to antiretroviral therapy (ART). It uses of National IPT Program guidelines in the first screening of persons living with HIV (PLWH) while the second screening of the subjects was trial specific. It reveals that PLWH are relatively safe and well-tolerated considering six months of IPT and that adherence to IPT is more effective than receiving ART with IPT.
