TL;DR: The guidelines promote the early use of antiretroviral agents for TB patients with HIV on second-line drug regimens and systems that primarily employ ambulatory models of care are recommended over others based mainly on hospitalisation.

TL;DR: In a systematic review and meta-analysis, Amitabh Suthar and colleagues investigate the association between antiretroviral therapy and the reduction in the incidence of tuberculosis in adults with HIV infection.

TL;DR: Regular screening of all PLHIV for active TB disease and provision of either treatment for active disease or preventive therapy, and the provision of earlier ART along with other measures to minimise TB transmission are essential.

TL;DR: Tuberculosis screening using a simple clinical algorithm that relies on the absence of current cough, fever, weight loss, and night sweats should be used to identify eligible pregnant women living with HIV for isoniazid preventive therapy or for further investigation for tuberculosis disease as part of services for prevention of vertical HIV transmission.

TL;DR: Addressing the challenge posed by HIV-associated TB among PWIDs requires a systematic and integrated response to viral hepatitis and incarceration-related health issues, in addition to ensuring HIV and TB prevention, diagnosis and treatment as core components of harm reduction services.
