Comparisons pertinent to the aims of this investigation include; Aim 1: Determine the effect of untreated HIV/TB co-infection on the host metabolism by comparing a healthy control group to an untreated co-infected group; Aim 2: Determine the effect of untreated HIV infection on patients with TB by comparing an untreated co-infected group to an untreated group with TB only (no HIV infection); Aim 3: Determine the effect of ART on HIV/TB co-infected patients by comparing an untreated co-infected group to a co-infected group receiving ART. Groups: HIV-/TB-/Tn-: healthy controls; HIV-/TB + /Tn-: untreated HIV-negative patients with active pulmonary TB; HIV + /TB + /Tn-: untreated HIV/TB co-infected patients; HIV + /TB + /Tn + : HIV/TB co-infected patients on ART
