A five-year audit of gaps in HIV testing and associations with TB treatment outcomes in Armenia, 2015-2019

Conclusions: An analysis of nationwide data revealed incompleteness of the national TB electronic database for HIV data. Patients with HIV status “not tested” and “not recorded” had higher risk of unsuccessful TB treatment outcomes. Upgrade of the electronic database with information on key indicators of TB-HIV services will facilitate improved monitoring and reporting.
