Abstract:

Objective To analyze the control and prevention effects of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and human immunodeficiency virus (MTB/HIV) coinfection in Hefei, and to provide scientific basis for the control and prevention of MTB/HIV coinfection in Hefei. Methods From 2014 to 2019, the AIDS Prevention and Control Department of each district (county) Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Hefei referred HIV/AIDS patients to local tuberculosis designated hospitals for chest X-ray examination (chest X-ray). All of 2084 newly diagnosed HIV/AIDS patients and 8326 previous HIV/AIDS patients were screened for tuberculosis. Tuberculosis patients were tested for HIV antibody in designated TB hospitals, and those confirmed positive HIV antibody patients were referred to the AIDS Prevention Department of CDC for treatment. A total of 18146 TB patients registered from 2014 to 2019 were tested for HIV antibody. Results From 2014 to 2019, 2137 new HIV/AIDS patients were detected, among whom 2084 were screened for tuberculosis, and the screening rate was 97.52%. Twenty-four tuberculosis patients were detected, and the detection rate was 1.15% (24/2084). Among 8326 previous HIV/AIDS patients, 37 tuberculosis patients were detected. The HIV antibody test rates from 2014 to 2019 were 60.72% (2806/4621), 60.86% (2676/4397), 63.84% (2770/4339), 75.16% (3128/4162), 84.41% (3638/4310) and 82.42% (3128/3795). The HIV antibody test rate showed an upward trend in 6 years, and the difference was statistically significant (χ2trend=1068.000, P=0.000). Twelve patients with positive HIV antibody were detected in 18146 tuberculosis patients, and the detection rate was 0.07%. Conclusion The detection rate of tuberculosis among newly-detected HIV/AIDS patients in Hefei is relatively high. To improve the tuberculosis screening rate of newly detected HIV/AIDS patients, and realize the sharing of tuberculosis and AIDS data and information, in order to achieve early detection and treatment of MTB/HIV coinfected patients, reduce the mortality of coinfected patients, and effectively control the MTB/HIV epidemic in Hefei.
