Abstract
Coronavirus South Africa has been developing control measures to tackle prevalent infectious diseases, particularly tuberculosis and HIV. However, with the onset of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), those resources, particularly those for diagnostics and community health care provision, were rerouted. In a Perspective, Abdool Karim and Abdool Karim discuss the possible implications of underresourcing tuberculosis and HIV diagnostics, health care, and research while the focus is on COVID-19. In particular, there are questions about whether progress in controlling tuberculosis and HIV will be reversed and if these and other prevalent infectious diseases alter the behavior of COVID-19, and vice versa.
