Description

This policy document responds to a demand from service providers and other partners for guidance on how to implement TB/HIV collaborative activities. It is complementary to and synergistic with the established core activities of tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS prevention and control programmes. The policy objectives include: establishing the mechanisms for sharing information and collaboration in planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS programmes at all levels of health services; to screen all HIV patients for TB and provide preventive and curative care for those with latent and active TB respectively and to provide HIV screening to all TB patients and comprehensive HIV care services to those co-infected with HIV.
