Summary

This study tests whether adding a steroid (hydrocortisone) and a powerful antibiotic combination to standard care can help more people with HIV survive sepsis, a life-threatening infection reaction. About 344 adults in Africa will take part. The goal is to find a better treatment that works against drug-resistant bacteria and tuberculosis, which are common there.
