The organization of tuberculosis chemoprevention of HIV infected people in modern conditions

In connection with the growing number of patients with combined HIV/ TB infection the legal framework and organization of treatment for such cases need some modernization. We investigated the legal documents regulating the provision of TB care in the Russian Federation, and medical care for HIV-infected persons. The results have shown that there is no comprehensive program for the reception, inspection and simultaneous antiretroviral therapy, tuberculosis chemoprevention and timely tracking the development of unwanted side reactions in patients with combined HIV/ TB infection. Therefore, for effective work on the prevention and early detection of tuberculosis the integration of TB and AIDS Service Center is required. Chemoprevention schemes, including optimally two medicines in complex, especially if patients on antiretroviral therapy, are also considered.
