CROI 2023: Tuberculosis and Infectious Complications in Persons With HIV

Top Antivir Med. 2023 Jun 30;31(4):529-537.ABSTRACTNovel implementation strategies to increase uptake and adherence to tuberculosis (TB) preventive therapy hold promise for reducing TB incidence in persons with HIV in high-burden settings. In persons who develop drug-susceptible TB, progress to shorten TB treatment continues to be made with the introduction of new drugs and novel treatment strategies that could allow for treatment shortening to 2 months for most people. A global case series provided powerful evidence that mpox should be considered an HIV-related opportunistic infection given its severe manifestations and poor outcomes. Studies of TB and infectious complications in people with HIV presented at the 2023 Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI) are summarized herein.PMID:37704200 | PMC:PMC10424761
