Tuberculosis and Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) Immune Reconstitution Syndrome Trial (THIRST)

The purpose of this study is twofold: (1) to assess the feasibility and safety of fixed dose combination zidovudine/lamivudine/abacavir in HIV infected subjects with tuberculosis in a resource-limited setting, and (2) to assess the impact of delayed versus early initiation strategies for fixed dose combination zidovudine/lamivudine/abacavir on the rate of tuberculosis-associated immune reconstitution inflammatory syndromes.
