Abstract

This study assessed the proportion of HIV-infected educators that need antiretroviral treatment (ART) according to the current criteria and estimated the impact of ART on AIDS mortality by modelling scenarios with and without access to ART. Specimens for HIV testing were obtained from educators and a sub-sample of venous blood specimens from HIV-positive educators was selected for analysis.
