Connection between Tuberculosis and HIV

The risk of developing tuberculosis (TB) is estimated to be between 16-27 times greater in people living with HIV than those living without HIV infection. In 2015, there were an estimated 10.4 million cases of tuberculosis disease globally, including 1.2 million among people living with HIV. Almost 60% of tuberculosis cases among people living with HIV were not diagnosed or treated, resulting in 390 000 tuberculosis-related deaths among people living with HIV. Tuberculosis is one of major reason of death for people living with HIV.
