People living with HIV

  • Screening and diagnosing TB in people living with HIV can be challenging but TB is curable in people living with HIV

  • TB preventive therapy with isoniazid is safe and effective in people living with HIV, reducing the risk of developing TB disease by 33–62%

  • TB infection control is essential to protect vulnerable patients, health care workers, and their communities against infection with TB

  • Persons with HIV infection who, after careful evaluation, do not have active tuberculosis should be treated for presumed LTBI with IPT.
