TB is the leading cause of death for people living with HIV, but TB prevention and treatment are lagging. As countries scale up HIV differentiated service delivery (DSD), there are important implications for TB/HIV services. Shifting recipients of care who are doing well on ART to less-intensive models is hoped to improve satisfaction, provider workload, and health system efficiency: it also means that many people on ART will be spending less time at health facilities. Appointment spacing and fast-track models require fewer and faster clinic visits. Other models will shift services to the community level. These changes create both challenges and opportunities for TB/HIV service delivery. Will these less-intensive models be able to provide effective TB screening and referrals? Can TPT be delivered safely to patients in community settings?

This satellite will convene participants from MOH, civil society, implementing partners, donors and other stakeholders.
