Objective
AIDS-associated Kaposi's Sarcoma (KS) is an increasing public health problem in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. The optimal management of AIDS-associated KS in sub-Saharan Africa is unknown. NCT00380770 is a single center randomized clinical trial of 112 patients with AIDS-associated KS who received a nivirapine based antiviral regimen (ARV) alone, or with chemotherapy (doxorubicin, bleomycin and vincristine) between 2003 and 2007. We evaluated 1-year overall survival (OS) and the ACTG staging system in our study population.
