The national estimate for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevalence among tuberculosis (TB) patients in India has previously been estimated indirectly from global data. To derive an improved national estimate from local data, we correlated district-level HIV surveillance data from antenatal clinics and TB diagnostic centres, and applied this correlation to state-level HIV prevalence estimates for the antenatal population. We estimate that among the 1.96 million incident TB cases in 2007, 4.85% (95%CI 4.12-5.73) or 95 240 (95%CI 80 730-112 478) were HIV-infected. With these estimates from local data, the national programme can better plan TB-HIV collaborative activities and monitor efforts to detect HIV infection in this large population.
此前，印度全国结核病（TB）患者中人类免疫缺陷病毒（HIV）流行率的估算值是通过全球数据间接估算的。为了从本地数据中得出更精确的全国估计值，我们对来自产前诊所和结核病诊断中心的地区级 HIV 监测数据进行了相关分析，并将这种相关性应用于全国范围内针对产前人群的 HIV 流行率估计值。我们估计，在 2007 年 196 万例新发病例中，4.85%（95%置信区间 4.12-5.73）或 95240 例（95%置信区间 80730-112478）为 HIV 感染者。有了这些基于本地数据的估算值，国家规划能够更好地计划结核病与艾滋病防治协作活动，并监测在这一大人群中发现 HIV 感染的努力。
