Today TB is not only a major opportunistic infection in persons living
with HIV/AIDS; it is the main cause of morbidity and mortality. For im-
proved prevention and treatment of TB among HIV patients, the WHO
and other funding agencies are advocating for integration of services
for those with the dual infection.
This presentation highlights the burden of TB among HIV patients, what
is required to integrate TB and HIV care services, and the impact of integrated services on care outcomes.
