Patient B: The patient, a 27-year-old man, was just diagnosed with HIV/AIDS (3 months ago) after being tested for HIV serostatus following notification that his wife had tested positive for the virus at a nearby clinic. He has no complaints about anything else. All of the physical evidences were unremarkable. Except for the CD4 count, which was determined to be 77cells/mm3, all baseline examinations, including tuberculosis investigations using a sputum gene expert, were non-revealing, and he subsequently tested for TB LAM, which yielded a positive result. He was subsequently started on anti-TB as recommended, and after a month, he was started on HAART withTenofovir+Lamivudine+Dolutegravir (TLD). He is using his medications without any problems so far, and the viral load will be sent on his six month of HAART initiation.
