Comparison of HIV testing among children and adults with tuberculosis, Vietnam
Volkmann T , Nguyen B , Anyalechi EG , Chapman Hedges KN , Van Anh H , Tue PQ , Nhung NV , Click ES . J Tuberc Res 2017 5 (4) 292-297 HIV testing among persons with tuberculosis (TB) results in high-yield identification of persons infected with HIV. To evaluate differences in HIV testing among children versus adults with TB in Vietnam, we collected and analyzed age-disaggregated facility and aggregated provincial data from the National Tuberculosis Program. HIV testing was incompletely documented for >70% of children, whereas adult testing data were >90% complete. Standardized training of personnel for universal HIV testing and documentation for children with TB could improve HIV case-detection and permit linking of children with HIV to antiretroviral treatment to prevent morbidity and mortality. |
