Abstract: In order to analyze the progress on Mtb and HIV co-infection prevention, problems and difficulties, explore solutions in order to improve work quality of Mtb and HIV co-infection prevention, we reviewed the related information on Mtb and HIV co-infection prevention in recent years including WHO annual reports, policy guides, policy documents and related manual issued in China, state-level pilot summary reports and relevant literature on Mtb and HIV co-infection diagnosis, treatment and management. Since 2004, WHO released the Mycobac-terium tuberculosis/HIV Joint Action Strategy, a relatively sound policy on Mtb and HIV co-infection treatment, management and prevention was established. National work on Mtb and HIV co-infection prevention has made great progress, conducted a series of pilot work centered on the surveillance of Mtb and HIV co-infection epidemic, two-way screening, INH preventive therapy. Since 2010, Mtb and HIV co-infection prevention work expand to the whole country in China. However, there remains to be further improved in terms of Mtb and HIV inter-agency cooperation, registration reports, bi-directional screening quality, and management of co-infection patients.
