dc.description.abstract	This study compare immunological and virological outcomes in antiretroviral therapy naïve patients exposed to Isoniazid prevention treatment.Medical records of antiretroviral naïve patients managed in the public sector from 1st January 2006 to 31st December 2006 were analysed.Multivariate analysis of variance showed that each treatment group achieved statistically significant increases in CD4+ cell count and viral load decay at each follow-up time point. Pairwise post hoc contrast tests showed patients in NVPipt-past group and EFVipt-past group to have superior immunological and virological outcomes respectively.	en
