This review provides operational clarity on intervention models that can support early linkages between the TB and HIV care cascades. The findings have supported the World Health Organization 2020 HIV Service Delivery Guidelines update. Further research is needed to evaluate the distinct effect of education and counselling, financial support, and dedicated personnel interventions, and to explore the role of community-based, virtual, and differentiated service delivery models in addressing TB-HIV co-morbidity.
