Mechanisms of impact on TB and HIV drug resistance in TB/HIV coinfection.

HIV on TB TB on HIV Common factors
Increases risk of TB reactivation Cell activation Lack of communication between TB and HIV treatment programs
Expands number of people with ATB Excessive cytokine and chemokine production Lack of treatment adherence
Contributes to selection for spontaneous mutations Stimulates HIV replication Immunocompromised state
Reinfection modifies conditions of co-existence Accelerates progression to AIDS Community transmission
High viral load increases prevalence of DR-TB Low uptake of ART Intravenous drug abuse
Timing and initiation of ART Low rates of viral RNA suppression Low socioeconomic status
Chronic immune activation onset during the acute phase Increased viral replication Late diagnosis
