“This handbook is a vital resource for any healthcare worker in South Africa. It's clear, practical, and grounded in real-world clinical scenarios. Dr. Mphothulo has managed to translate complex national guidelines into an accessible tool that empowers primary health care professionals to manage HIV and TB with confidence. A must-have on every clinic shelf.”

Dr. Thandi Moya, Primary Care Physician

What sets this handbook apart is how it brings together clinical expertise, local context, and national protocols in one coherent guide. In rural and high-burden settings, you don’t have time to sift through textbooks — you need quick, trusted information. This book delivers exactly that.

Sibusiso Dlamini, District Programme Coordinator


South Africa continues to battle one of the world’s worst dual epidemics. This book is not only timely but necessary. It’s comprehensive without being overwhelming, and its focus on national treatment guidelines makes it especially relevant for both junior and experienced healthcare workers.

Dr. Kabelo Phihlela, Public Health Specialist

As a medical student training in a high-burden hospital, this handbook has been an invaluable resource. It doesn't just repeat textbook knowledge — it reflects decades of frontline experience. You can feel the author’s passion for both medicine and social justice in every chapter.
