Are more people with HIV getting protection from tuberculosis?

Tuberculosis is a major threat to people living with HIV, making preventive treatment a lifesaving priority. A new report from PEPFAR-supported health programs in 36 countries took a look at trends in this care. It examined whether more people with HIV are starting and completing the course of medicine meant to stop TB before it starts. The report describes these trends but doesn't share the actual numbers, percentages, or any statistical measures that would tell us if the trends are going up or down. Because it's a descriptive report and not a formal study, we can't draw firm conclusions about what's working or how much progress has been made. It serves as a snapshot of activity, highlighting that tracking this care is important, but leaving the specific results unclear.
