Addressing HIV/AIDS Issues in TB Contact Investigation: A Guide for Contact Investigators, Managers, and Trainers

This guide is divided into three major parts. The first part is designed to provide the Contact Investigator with the essential HIV/AIDS information he or she will need when engaging in a family-friendly discussion to encourage TB contacts to agree to HIV counseling and testing. The second is designed to give TB program managers guidelines for implementing a program tailored to their jurisdiction. The third part details a training course that will impart the skills, attitudes, and knowledge one will need to include HIV in tuberculosis contact investigations. This course can be conducted for a half or full day.
