BHIVA guidelines for the management of tuberculosis in adults living with HIV 2018 (2019 interim update)

Introduction

The overall purpose of these guidelines is to help physicians manage adults with tuberculosis (TB)/human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) co-infection. Recommendations for the treatment of TB in HIV-positive adults are similar to those in HIV-negative adults. Of note, the term ‘HIV’ refers to HIV-1 throughout these guidelines.

The 2019 interim update to the 2018 BHIVA guidelines for the management of tuberculosis in adults living with HIV was published to ensure that guidance reflects the most recent World Health Organization guidance on management of drug-resistant tuberculosis. All changes are highlighted.
