Abstract:
Collaborative TB/HIV management is essential to prevent and treat TB among
HIV-positive TB patients, and to ensure that HIV-positive TB patients are
detected and treated appropriately.
This quantitative, descriptive, contextual study identified problems encountered
during the implementation of TB case detection among HIV-positive individuals in
one Ethiopian hospital. During December 2012, 300 checklists were completed
about HIV-positive patients’ TB/HIV collaborative management, as reflected in
their files.
