1 In Zambia: Overall, 13.5% self-reported they were HIV–positive and taking ART, 1.0% self-reported they were HIV–positive and not taking ART, 1.5% tested HIV–positive. In South Africa: Overall, 12.9% self-reported they were HIV–positive and taking ART, 1.3% self-reported they were HIV–positive and not taking ART, 1.9% tested HIV–positive.
2 For subgroup analysis of males and females, adjusted for triplet and estimating age-group-specific odds ratios to compare HIV–positive with HIV–negative individuals (interaction between age group and HIV status, in the logistic regression model); for analysis of males and females combined, adjusted for triplet and allowing the association between age group and prevalent TB to be different for males and females (interaction between sex and age group, in the logistic regression model).
3 Number of individuals with prevalent TB.
4 Total participants.
5 Percentage with prevalent TB.
6 P-value for evidence for variation in ORs (comparing HIV–positive to HIV–negative individuals) among the 4 age groups.
ART, antiretroviral therapy; CI, confidence interval; HIV, human immunodeficiency virus; OR, odds ratio.
