Organization Description:
The Consortium to Respond Effectively to the AIDS/TB Epidemic is a global research and implementation project targeting tuberculosis (TB) control in areas with severe HIV/AIDS epidemics. The purpose of this initiative is to organize, implement and evaluate novel strategies to reduce morbidity and mortality from TB in populations with high rates of HIV and TB co-infection. TB is the leading killer of people with HIV infection worldwide, and the HIV epidemic has seriously undermined TB control efforts in high prevalence areas. While new tools are clearly needed, it is imperative that effective public health strategies are implemented as soon as possible. These strategies will enhance existing control programs and will facilitate future interventions designed to reduce the incidence of morbidity and mortality from HIV-related TB. With funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, CREATE will strive to achieve these outcomes over the next 5 to 7 years.
