TB is the leading cause of death for people living with HIV, yet less than one third of new enrolees in HIV care initiated TB preventive treatment (TPT) in 2017. As countries scale up differentiated service delivery (DSD) for HIV, there are important implications for TPT services. Shifting “stable” recipients of HIV care to less-intensive models means that many PLHIV will be spending less time at health facilities. These changes create both challenges and opportunities for TPT. This satellite will convene implementers from MOH, WHO, PEPFAR, implementing partners, academic institutions and other stakeholders. The session will highlight the opportunity to leverage DSD models to enhance TPT services and showcase innovations and global best practices.
