This primary prevention is advised for people with less than 200 CD4 cells/mm3, or under 15% (in case of allergy, desensibilisation techniques may be used). In some cases, other prophylaxies are ... advised (particularly concerning mycobacteria).

Antimicrobial treatment may include Bactrim (trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole) or Cipro (ciprofloxacin), usually for 7 to 10 days. Treatment of dehydration and hypotension (low blood pressure) is lifesaving in severe cases. Antispasmodics are helpful when cramps are severe. Appropriate precautions should be taken both in the hospital and in the home to limit the spread of infection.
