Abstract

[Objective]To investigate the prevalence of TB in AIDS patients and HIV infection among TB patients and the influencing factors.[Methods]260 AIDS and 580 TB patients were investigated with the questionnaire about the detection rates of double infection and the influencing factors.Also their medical records were checked.[Results]The prevalence of TB was 35% in 260 AIDS patients(pulmonary tuberculosis 29.2%,extrapulmonary tuberculosis 5.8%),HIV infection rate was 2.8% in 580 TB patients.Low income was the primary factor resulting in AIDS patients taking TB;drug using and commercial sexual behavior played important roles among TB patients infecting HIV.[Conclusion]The prevalence TB in AIDS patients is high,lower income group is easily infected TB;the rate of HIV infection in TB patients is higher than that of common people.The main reasons of TB patients infected HIV are drug using and commercial sex behaviors.
