Association of first-line combination antiretroviral therapy with malaria among adult HIV-infected persons in Jos, Nigeria: a pilot cross sectional study
Malaria parasite burden in HIV-infected persons on first-line cART is lower than that observed in ARV-naïve HIV-infected persons. Our study suggests that TDF/3TC/EFV may be associated with lower malaria antigenaemia when compared with AZT/3TC/NVP and can be considered an alternative first-line antiretroviral regimen in malaria-endemic regions.
