This may be due to the high levels of immunocompromise in this population despite the availability of ART, although an increase in invasive pneumococcal disease was found amongst women in that study, suggesting that general uptake of the childhood pneumococcal conjugate vaccination (PCV; which now forms part of the childhood immunization schedule in South Africa) may be particularly effective at reducing rates of invasive pneumococcal disease amongst HIV-infected adults in this community. Several interventions can be made that have been shown to reduce this risk; these include: the use of ART and achievement of an undetectable plasma HIV load, smoking cessation, and the uptake of the pneumococcal and influenza immunizations, which international guidelines recommend for HIV-infected individuals.	./cache/cord-319002-xmsfkaoc.txt	./txt/cord-319002-xmsfkaoc.txt
