First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study follows 380 children in Uganda for two years to understand how malaria and HIV treatments interact. Half the children have HIV and half do not. Researchers will measure changes in body weight, blood sugar, and drug levels to find the best ways to treat both infections together.
