In TB + HIV, starting antiretrovirals earlier saved lives (CAMELIA)

No one knows when to start antiretroviral drugs in people with HIV and tuberculosis. Delaying ARVs is often done, for fear of drug toxicity and interactions, as well as immune reconstitution syndrome (dangerous worsening of the inflammatory response to TB as the immune system recovers). Of course, that means the HIV gets to continue its nasty replicative business, chemically unopposed.
