The 2 conditions overlap in their epidemiologic characteristics and clinical manifestations and are both clothed in stigma. They individually carry the risk of creating social economic and political instability which is markedly worsened when they affect a region in concert. The overwhelming burden of disease due to both TB and HIV is borne by resourcelimited countries 1 and the hardest hit among these are in sub-Saharan Africa. In sub-Saharan Africa the HIV epidemic is accelerating what was already a massive TB epidemic with the incidence rate of TB increasing from 146 per 100 000 in 1990 to 345 per 100 000 in 2003.
