Ennis Study Assesses Tuberculosis Risk among HIV Patients
Aug 04, 2022
Nicole Ennis, Ph.D., along with others, examined the factors linked with tuberculosis among people who lived with HIV in Florida via medical documentation and self-reporting. Tuberculosis prevalence was higher in self-reporting than in documentation, with the highest self-reporting demographic being older, homeless African Americans.
The use of self-reporting combined with screening test confirmation would help in establishing the true prevalence of tuberculosis and associated risk factors of those living with HIV.
