Led by Professor Thumbi Ndung’u from the University of KwaZulu-Natal and the Africa Health Research Institute (AHRI), the study achieved a 20% success rate in enabling participants to stay off antiretroviral therapy (ART) while maintaining viral suppression. This marks a pivotal step toward long-term HIV remission.

Tuberculosis Awareness Month: Understanding TB & Its Impacts

March 14, 2025 (updated March 14, 2025) Published by

March is Tuberculosis Awareness Month. It highlights the need for education, prevention, and treatment. TB remains a global health issue, especially in high-risk regions like South Africa. March is dedicated to TB Awareness because it marks World Tuberculosis Day on March 24th, commemorating Dr. Robert Koch’s discovery of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in 1882. With TB still ranking as one of the world’s deadliest infectious diseases (killing over 1.5 million people annually despite being preventable & curable.), March serves as a crucial time to raise awareness, promote early detection, and advocate for global efforts to eliminate TB. The month-long campaign highlights the importance of prevention, treatment, and research to combat drug-resistant strains and reduce TB-related deaths.
