Purpose
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine (SP) versus artemether-lumefantrine (Coartem) when administered to HIV+ and HIV- patients with uncomplicated P. falciparum malaria. Patients will be randomised to one of the 2 treatment and followed up (until day 14 actively) for 45 days.
