To assess the prevalence of TB-HIV (tuberculosis-human immunodeficiency virus) co-infection and the effect of provider-initiated HIV testing and counselling (PITC) strategy among TB patients, we applied the PITC strategy to recruit and investigate 2795 newly registered TB patients from 15 TB institutes in Guangxi Province, Southern China. HIV test acceptance rate and HIV positivity were respectively 99.1% and 2.2%. This study indicates that it is feasible and effective to implement PITC HIV testing in TB patients. Guangxi Province had a high burden of HIV infection among TB patients.
为了评估结核病-人类免疫缺陷病毒（TB-HIV）合并感染的流行率以及在结核病患者中实施医护人员主动提供艾滋病病毒检测咨询（PITC）策略的效果，我们在广西壮族自治区的 15 家结核病防治机构中应用 PITC 策略招募并调查了 2795 名新登记的结核病患者。HIV 检测接受率和 HIV 阳性率分别为 99.1%和 2.2%。本研究表明，在结核病患者中实施 PITC 艾滋病病毒检测是可行且有效的。广西壮族自治区结核病患者的 HIV 感染负担较高。
