Factors Associated with Absence of Active Pulmonary Tuberculosis in HIV Patients with Latent Tuberculosis, Beyond Isoniazid Preventive Therapy.

In this setting, the use of long-term antiretroviral therapy and higher CD4+ counts, rather than just IPT, were the key factors associated with preventing active TB in latent HIV-TB patients. These findings suggest that comprehensive HIV management may be more important than IPT alone for TB control in PLWHA. Further research is needed to optimize TB prevention strategies in this high-risk population.
