Abstract
Description
While tuberculosis preventive therapy (TPT) coverage among people living with HIV in Zambia has improved, uptake among HIV-negative contacts aged ≥5 years remains low. Despite evidence showing that TPT can reduce TB incidence by up to 60% in HIV-negative individuals, there is a paucity of evidence on programmatic rollout to this population in Zambia and the region. We present programme data from a TPT surge aimed at increasing uptake among ≥5 years old HIV-negative household TB contacts.
