On the first day of the treatment period (Visit 1), eligible patients will be randomized into the Berberine Arm and the Control Arm.
In the Berberine Arm, patients will receive berberine 200 mg twice daily for 4±1 weeks (Stage 1); then, 300 mg twice daily for 4±1 weeks (Stage 2); then, 400 mg twice daily for 4±1 weeks (Stage 3) in addition to standard treatment, including aspirin 100 mg once daily and clopidogrel 75 mg once daily for 12±1 weeks.
In the Control Arm, patients will receive standard treatment, including aspirin 100 mg once daily and clopidogrel 75 mg once daily for 12±1 weeks.

Arm 1 will receive an intensive regimen of anti-helminthic therapy consisting of albendazole every three months for two years and praziquantel at enrollment and at one year of follow up.

Arm 2 will receive symptomatic diagnosis and treatment of helminth infection as is current standard of care in Kenya.

Empiric Therapy of Helminth Co-infection to Reduce HIV-1 Disease Progression

The primary measure of efficacy for the randomized clinical trial is the time to ART eligibility and the time to CD4 counts of less than 200 and 350 cells/mm3.

Secondary measures of efficacy will include changes in WHO Clinical Staging, development of IRIS, time to hospitalization, time to death, time to initiation of ARVs and CD4 response to ARVs as well as the development of IRIS among those who initiate ARVs.
