were significantly associated with shorter survival time to death of HIV/TB co-infected patients while having advanced educational status, being from urban residence, CPT use, and INH significantly increase the survival time to death of TB/HIV co-infected patients. Patients with TB/HIV co-infection should be given special attention based on these important factors to improve their health and prolong their lives. HIV-positive patients are more likely than others to contract the TB disease. The risk of death among TB/HIV co-infected patients was found to be high. Out of all patients, 79 (21.8%) died. Accelerated failure time models are good alternatives for scenario Cox proportional hazard assumptions not met.
