HIV Testing Among Tuberculosis Patients

Measurement Period: 2015

This indicator shows the percentage of people with tuberculosis who have a negative, positive, or indeterminate HIV test result.

Why is this important?

Worldwide, tuberculosis (TB) is the leading cause of death among persons living with HIV infection. Almost one in four deaths among persons with HIV infection is due to TB disease. A person who has both HIV infection and TB disease has an AIDS-defining condition. Because HIV infection weakens the immune system, someone with untreated latent TB infection and HIV infection is much more likely to develop TB disease during his or her lifetime than someone without HIV infection. Among people with latent TB infection, HIV infection is the strongest known risk factor for progressing to TB disease. People infected with HIV who also have either latent TB infection or TB disease can be effectively treated.
