Recruitment Details
Key information relevant to the recruitment process for the overall study, such as dates of the recruitment period and locations
Subjects were recruited from an ongoing cohort study in Kampala, Uganda. The first subject was recruited in Feb 2006.

Pre-Assignment Details
Significant events and approaches for the overall study following participant enrollment, but prior to group assignment
Participants received a medical and laboratory examination before assignment. Subjects were excluded if they had active tuberculosis or were anemic. 22 participants were recruited; 22 were screened,2 were excluded (1 did not meet inclusion criteria and 1 refused participation).

Population Description
Explanation of how the number of participants for analysis was determined. Includes whether analysis was per protocol, intention to treat, or another method. Also provides relevant details such as imputation technique, as appropriate.
Intention to treat analysis used including only participants with sufficient plasma samples for analysis. Separate analyses are given for each drug. Results for this kind of study are not combined.

Certain Agreements:  
Principal Investigators are NOT employed by the organization sponsoring the study.
There is NOT an agreement between Principal Investigators and the Sponsor (or its agents) that restricts the PI's rights to discuss or publish trial results after the trial is completed.


Limitations and Caveats
Limitations of the study, such as early termination leading to small numbers of participants analyzed and technical problems with measurement leading to unreliable or uninterpretable data
Stavudine (40mg) was used whereas currently it is Stavudine(30mg) that is recommended for usage. So our results may not be applicable to patients on Stavudine 30mg.
