TB-HIV: INTRODUCTION: DEFINITIONS, TARGETS AND PROGRESS TO DATE People living with HIV are 20 to 37 times more likely to develop TB disease during their lifetimes than people who are HIV-negative.27 HIV and TB are so closely connected that the term ‘co-epidemic’ or ‘dual epidemic’ is often used to describe their relationship, which is also referred to as TB/HIV (or HIV/TB). Of the 9.4 million people who became ill with TB in 2009, an estimated 1.0–1.2 million (11–13%) were HIVpositive, with a best estimate of 1.1 million (12%).28 Of these HIV-positive TB cases, approximately 80% were in the African Region. Throughout the 1990s and up to 2004, the HIV epidemic led to a dramatic increase in the number of TB cases in the African Region, from less than 200 to more than 350 cases per 100 000 population. The African Region is thus the part of the world in which interventions to prevent TB in HIV-positive people, and to reduce the illness and mortality associated with HIV infection in HIVpositive TB patients, are most needed. Within the African Region, the highest rates of HIV infection among TB patients are in countries in southern and eastern Africa, where more than 50% of TB patients are estimated to be infected with HIV (Figure 17). An estimated 0.4 million HIV-positive people died of TB in 2009, equivalent to about one in four of the deaths that occur among HIV-positive people each year. In 2004, WHO defined a set of collaborative TB/HIV activities that are essential to ensure that HIV-positive TB patients are identified and treated appropriately, and to prevent TB in HIV-positive people.29 These activities include establishing mechanisms for collaboration between TB and HIV programmes; infection control in health care and congregate settings; HIV testing of TB patients; CPT and ART for those TB patients infected with HIV, to reduce illness and mortality; and intensified TB case-finding among people living with HIV followed by isoniazid preventive therapy (IPT) for those without active TB. All HIV-positive TB patients are considered eligible for ART according to the latest WHO guidelines on provision of ART. Currently, testing TB patients for HIV and providing CPT for HIV-positive TB patients are typically the responsibility of NTPs. National HIV programmes |
