WAC TB

"Too many people are dying needlessly as a result of TB, which is still a leading cause of death among people living with HIV. Every day that goes by without action adds to the unacceptable death toll in people and communities affected by TB and HIV." -- Dr Marcos Espinal, Executive Secretary of the Stop TB Partnership

Throughout the world, 12% of all TB deaths occur in people living with HIV. TB kills up to half of all AIDS patients in some settings. Yet TB is a curable and preventable disease.
