“…The decrease in the incidence of TB-HIV co-infection in the period analyzed shows an important advance in the control of TB and, especially, in HIV control, related to the timely introduction of antiretroviral therapy (ART) and improved access to reference services 5 , 19 , 20 . However, aspects related to the diagnosis of TB and treatment conclusion, with emphasis on the large number of diagnoses made in hospital services and the high rates of drop out and death reflect the difficulties in an active search for cases, early diagnosis and effective treatment of TB-HIV co-infection.…”

“…The population groups that are most affected by tuberculosis/HIV/AIDS coinfection have in common the fact that they have conditions and life situations that increase health risks. Research that traces socio-epidemiological profiles related to tuberculosis (TB) and HIV/AIDS mentions groups and characteristics associated with these diseases, with frequent occurrence of coinfection in men between 30 and 59 years of age, low educational level, harmful use of alcohol and other drugs, people living in the street or in prison, history of abandonment of drug treatment, and multidrug resistance to tuberculosis (MDR) (1)(2) .…”

“…A diminuição na prevalência da coinfecção, descrita no presente estudo, mesmo com menor expressão que o período anterior, pode ser justificada também pela melhoria da cobertura da testagem anti-HIV dos casos de TB no município (São Paulo, 2007;Pinto et al, 2017), o que indica uma melhor organização dos serviços de assistência à TB e ao HIV/AIDS e o aprimoramento das ações colaborativas dos programas de controle da TB e do HIV/AIDS (Brasil, 2013b, São Paulo, 2017a (Guimarães et al, 2012;WHO, 2016).…”

“…Ao analisar a população total do estudo, foram identificadas taxas de cura muito abaixo do preconizado (>85%) (Brasil, 2011), e também discrepantes das taxas de cura atingidas por indivíduos não infectados pelo HIV (Bierrenbach et al, 2007;Pinto et al, 2017). O abandono também foi um desfecho frequente nesta população, cerca de quatro vezes maior do que a taxa aceitável (<5%), segundo a OMS (Brasil, 2017).…”
