TMP-SMX 1 DS PO daily TMP-SMX 1 DS PO three times weekly
TMP-SMX 1 SS PO daily
Dapsone 50 mg PO daily + pyrimethamine/leucovorin PO weekly
Atovaquone 1500 mg PO daily
Mycobacterium avium complex
(CD4 <50)
Azithromycin 1200 mg PO once weekly Clarithromycin 500 mg PO BID
Azithromycin 600 mg PO twice weekly
Rifabutin, dose-adjusted to HIV meds
Histoplasma capsulatum
(CD4 <150 and high risk)
