On the second day of Christmas may the Good Lord bring to Swazi: Two Defeated Diseases and One Godly King

HIV and TB (from WHO website)
HIV and TB form a lethal combination, each speeding the other's progress. HIV weakens the immune system. Someone who is HIV-positive and infected with TB bacilli is many times more likely to become sick with TB than someone infected with TB bacilli who is HIV-negative.
