DISSCUSSION
• At present the dual intersecting infections (HIV/TB) have
threatened the lives of many people around the globe and have
now emerged as a global public health problem.
• 1.4 million (15%) TB cases occur in people living with HIV and
0.5 million TB deaths in people living with HIV.
• However, there is no official data on the magnitude of the TB/HIV
co-infection in Nepal and also SAARC countries.
• According to the findings of the study,HIV prevalence among TB
patients is increasingly continuously from 1993/94 to 2006/2007
in Nepal. It was 0.00% in 1993/94 which increased to 2.40% in
2006/2007. However, the HIV prevalence among TB patient
seems to be constant in 2001/02 to 2006/07

prevalence among TB patient seems to be constant in
2001/02 to 2006/07
• Maldives among SAARC countries has the highest HIV
prevalence in incident TB cases in the year 2006 which is
