Treatment and maintenance therapy

For treatment and maintenance therapy (secondary prophylaxis) of disseminated Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC), see Disseminated Mycobacterium avium complex infection.

In patients with newly diagnosed HIV, exclude other infections before starting antiretroviral therapy for HIV infection. For patients with HIV and MAC but no other infection, start antiretroviral therapy within 2 weeks if the patient is clinically stable (see Initial antiretroviral therapy for HIV infection in adults).
