Abstract
⺠Prevalence of helminth, malaria and dual-infection was 38%, 21%, and 10%, respectively. ⺠Helminth infection was characterized by lower hemoglobin and CD4 cell counts. ⺠Helminth infection was more common in rural than peri-urban areas. ⺠Helminth caused greater prevalence of detectable viral load than no infection. ⺠d4T-3TC-NVP therapy caused fewer helminth and dual infection than AZT-3TC-NVP.
