Abstract:

Tuberculosis (TB) and AIDS are both serious infectious diseases in the world. TB is a commonly opportunistic infection and the major cause of death among HIV/AIDS patients, and meanwhile the HIV/AIDS dramatically increases risk of TB incidence. The TB-HIV/AIDS co-infection mutually exacerbates progression of the diseases, making it a serious threat to public health globally. The author made a review to the prevalence and control strategy of TB-HIV/AIDS co-infection, and proposed the main problems and countermeasures.

Key words: Tuberculosis, HIV infections, Acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, Comorbidity, Protective agents
