TB-HIV INTEGRATION IN THE WORKPLACE
2nd Private Sector Conference on HIV and AIDSPresenter: Dr S Charalambous
Presentation outline
TB burden in HIV-infected individualsWHO TB-HIV collaborative activities3 Is strategy:– Intensive case finding– INH preventive therapy– Infection control
ART and TBCurrent TB projects
HIV and TB Co-infection
If already TB-infected: HIV increases the risk of developing active TB -10%/lifetime - 10%/yrIf newly TB-infected: more likely to progress to active diseaseTaking ART and TB treatment together can be problematic : Side effects, compliance, IRISTB presents differently in HIV-infected persons – making diagnosis more difficultTB is now the leading cause of death among HIV infected persons
WHO 2004 - Key elements of TB-HIV integrationEstablish mechanisms for collaboration:– Set up a co-ordinating body for TB/HIV activities effective at all levels– Conduct surveillance of HIV prevalence among tuberculosis patients– Carry out joint TB/HIV planning– Conduct monitoring and evaluation
Decrease the burden of TB in people living with HIV/AIDS– Establish intensified tuberculosis case finding– Introduce isoniazid preventive therapy– Ensure tuberculosis infection control in health care and congregate settings
Decrease the burden of HIV in TB patients:– Provide HIV testing and counselling– Introduce HIV prevention methods– Introduce cotrimoxazole preventive therapy– Ensure HIV/AIDS care and support– Introduce antiretroviral therapy

Intensive case finding
Community-based ART programme in Cape Town*– active screening for TB prior to ART (2002-2005)
– 477/923 (52%) previous TB at enrolment– 238/923 (25%) active TB at enrolment (>50% already on
TB Rx)
Home-based ART programme in Uganda**– Active screening for TB prior to ART (2003-2005) – 75/1044 (7.2%) active TB at baseline (50% already on
TB Rx)
* Lawn AIDS 2006 **Moore AIDS 2007
SA National ART guidelines 2004
Prior to initiating ART– Suspect TB if 2 or more of:
• Observed weight loss ≥ 1.5 kg• Cough > 2 weeks• Night sweats > 2 weeks• Fever > 2 weeks
– 2 sputum specimens (2 AFB, 1 culture) Prior to IPT– As above, but investigate if 1 or more symptom– 2 sputum AFB, 1 sputum culture
Screening for TB prior to ART initiation in community and industrial programme settings in South Africa
Objectives:– Describe current practice in screening for TB among
patients attending industrial and community HIV care programmes prior to ART initiation
– Assess adherence to national guidelines on investigation and screening for TB suspects

Results: symptom screen and sputum investigation
† any of: cough / sputum production/ fever / night sweats / weight loss; ‡ two or more of: cough / fever / night sweats / weight loss
CommunityN=4502n (%)
IndustrialN=1883n (%)
Any symptom ticked† 2573 (57.2) 579 (30.8)
Two or more symptoms ticked‡ 1524 (33.9) 307 (16.3)
Sputum sent 52 (1.2) 95 (5.1)
Screening according to SA national guidelines (Patients with two or more symptoms who had sputum sent) ‡
27/1524 (1.8) 44/307 (14.3)
Patients with CXR suggestive of TB who had sputum sent 7/258 (2.7) 18/130 (13.9)
Conclusions
Screening for TB / adherence to national guidelines, or its documentation, or both, were poorOffer investigations on site, free of chargeClinical data systems should facilitate care by prompting care providers to screen for TB
Isoniazid Preventive therapy
Recommended by WHO since 2005– All HIV infected persons with no previous history of TB
regardless of CD4 count for period of 6 months– Persons with silicosis
Given as a once-daily doseNeed to exclude TB prior to use

TB PROJECTS
Cluster randomised trial in gold minersAll miners offered TB Preventive Therapy for 9 monthsFunded by Bill and Melinda Gates FoundationOver 16000 miners already on INH
COLLABORATORSLondon School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine Johns Hopkins University AngloGold Ashanti Gold Fields Harmony Gold Department of Minerals and Energy Department of Health Department of Labour Mining Unions and Associations
Conclusions
Back to basics! – TB case finding, INH Prevention, Infection control
ARV reduces TB incidence in HIV patients but still very high Lets not forget the health workers - efforts to protect them need to be implemented.
