HIV patients in malaria-endemic areas have fewer and less severe episodes of malaria if they use ITNs and PEPFAR-funded HIV care programmes are now implementing ITN distribution as part of comprehensive HIV care. The paper assesses knowledge, retention and appropriate use of ITNs distributed to HIV-positive adults as a part of a community-based outpatient HIV care programme in Uganda.
