摘要: The incidence of tuberculosis (TB) in southern and eastern Africa was driven sharply upwards during 1980s 1990s by coinfection with Mycobacterium the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Although drug treatments for TB infection (isoniazid preventive therapy) disease (combinations drugs) can reduce if implemented effectively, we find that antiretroviral therapy (ART) HIV principal cause decline 12 worst affected African countries between 2003 2016. ART prevented up to 1.92 million HIV-positive cases, or 17.3 percent total number expected. In these countries, over period 2003-16, made most significant contribution towards achieving international targets reduction incidence.
