Eastern Europe faces rising tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS, increasing the risk of tuberculosis/HIV co-infection. This framework guides European nations in creating national plans to reduce tuberculosis/HIV morbidity and mortality.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Infectious Disease Epidemiology
  • Global Health Policy

Background:

  • Tuberculosis (TB) incidence is decreasing in Western/Central Europe but rising in Eastern Europe.
  • Human Immunodeficiency Virus/Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (HIV/AIDS) is dramatically increasing in Eastern Europe.
  • A significant acceleration in HIV-related tuberculosis (TB/HIV) morbidity and mortality is anticipated.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a framework for European countries to develop national plans for reducing TB/HIV.
  • To guide the development of strategies for TB/HIV prevention and care.
  • To foster collaboration between national HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis programs.

Main Methods:

  • Extensive consultation process by the World Health Organization Regional Office for Europe.

  • Incorporation of global and European strategies for TB control and HIV/AIDS prevention.
  • Development of a framework outlining strategic components and key operations.
  • Main Results:

    • Identified five strategic components: political commitment, collaborative prevention, intensified case-finding, coordinated treatment, and strengthened surveillance.
    • Outlined eight key operations: central coordination, policy development, surveillance, training, supply management, service delivery, health promotion, and research.
    • Established the rationale for effective collaboration between HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis national programs.

    Conclusions:

    • Effective collaboration between HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis programs is crucial for reducing TB/HIV.
    • A comprehensive national plan incorporating strategic components and key operations is essential.
    • This framework provides a roadmap for European countries to combat the growing TB/HIV epidemic.
