Kaplan-Meier estimates of survival with and without HAART, Arba Minch Hospital, 2006. This figure shows (i) the higher mortality rate in the untreated group, and (ii) the high early mortality in both groups. About 20 weeks after starting treatment, the mortality rate stabilized in the treated group, but in the untreated cohort there was steady increase in mortality. The longer curve of the HAART group shows the longer follow-up in the treated group.
