This is irrelevant. Goliath asked for a specialist not medical advice!
Smell the coffee. Pneumonia, TB - signatures for immune suppression. A lot of people live in denial and seek irrelevant treatment when a simple course of ARV will sort out the problem.
not necessarily so... i have a relative who has TB and initially, they'd treated him for pneumonia but it wasn't pneumonia... when they tested TB, it was positive. they tested HIV, it was negative and even after the three months, HIV was still negative. Kwani mtu hawezi gonjeka kifua bila HIV? In any case, by the time any hospital tests you for TB, they'll have sent you for HIV test... and its not like HIV is a death sentence anyway....
