Scale up access to ART for HIVpositive TB patients according to international guidelines. Provision of ART needs to be expanded, such that by 2012 all HIV-positive TB patients – estimated at almost 1 million people in 2009 – are enrolled on ART RANET policies need to be updated so that all HIV positive TB patients are eligible for ART and to ensure that access to TB and HIV services is promoted among the populations that are most at-risk in these communities |
