Correction to: Scientific Reports 10.1038/s41598-021-92688-w, published online 29 June 2021

The original version of this Article contained an error, where diagnostic tests for STI were omitted.

As a result, in the Materials and Methods section, now reads:

"For STIs, study participants were tested at regional or other clinics. In most cases, the following tests were used: For gonorrhea, AmpliSens® Neisseria gonorrhoeae-Test-“FL (InterLabService, Moscow, Russia); for trichomoniasis, AmpliSens® Trichomonas vaginalis-Test-FL (InterLabService, Moscow, Russia), and for syphilis, RecombBest® Treponema pallidum-Summary antibodies Test (Vecor Best, Moscow, Russia)."

Additionally, p value is erroneously mentioned as p = 0.xx in the Results section under ‘Co-infections among PLWH’ subsection,

“On the other hand, in the multivariate model, the male sex was found to be a non-significant independent variable (p=0.xx), while being 30–39 years old at the time of HIV diagnosis (ORadj 2.01; CI 1.02–3.93) was a risk factor for TB co-infection in addition to the 5–9 and 15–20 years of HIV infection (ORadj 1.98; CI 1.15–3.40 and ORadj 5.44; CI 1.99–14.82).”

now reads:

“On the other hand, in the multivariate model, the male sex was found to be a non-significant independent variable (p=0.70), while being 30–39 years old at the time of HIV diagnosis (ORadj 2.01; CI 1.02–3.93) was a risk factor for TB co-infection in addition to the 5–9 and 15–20 years of HIV infection (ORadj 1.98; CI 1.15–3.40 and ORadj 5.44; CI 1.99–14.82).”

The original Article has been corrected.
