Tuberculosis and HIV

Fact Sheets - Released in 2016

HIV-associated TB presents a risk to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. Effective, sustained action is required to meet the needs of the most vulnerable populations.

United Nations Member States have committed to work towards the target of reducing deaths related to tuberculosis (TB) among people living with HIV by 75% by 2020, as well as reaching 90% of all people with TB with preventive or therapeutic treatment and achieving 90% treatment success for all people diagnosed with TB.

The commitments from Member States must be bold and ambitious and leaders of Member States must be held accountable for their actions in taking urgent steps to end two of the worlds leading infectious diseases, TB and HIV.
