cover

People living with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are 29 times (26-31) more likely to develop tuberculosis (TB) disease as people without HIV and living in the same country (1). TB is a leading cause of death among people living with HIV, accounting for one in five HIV-related deaths globally. As a corollary, one in four TB deaths globally were associated with HIV in 2013. The World Health Organization (WHO) has recommended the package of interventions collectively called “collaborative TB/HIV activities” since 2004 (Table 1). There has been significant progress in global implementation of this package, which contributed to an estimated 1.3 million lives saved between 2005 and 2011.
