Addressing antiretroviral therapy-related diagnostic coverage gaps across South Africa using a programmatic approach

BACKGROUND: A major challenge facing South Africa is the concomitant HIV and tuberculosis epidemics. The National Health Laboratory Service provides testing for staging HIV-positive patients, monitoring patients on antiretroviral therapy (ART) and diagnosing tuberculosis. Not all health districts ha...
