Aims/Objectives:

One of the most common conditions of children with perinatal HIV is chronic lung disease, which may be caused by repeated infections that damage lung function over time. We are carrying out a randomised placebo-controlled trial of the antibiotic azithromycin for adolescents with HIV and symptoms of chronic lung disease in Malawi and Zimbabwe. The trial is due to end in August 2019.
