In a viewpoint, published in the Journal of the International AIDS Society (JIAS), the authors outline the spectrum of health challenges faced by TB survivors, identifying key research and intervention gaps and potential solutions. They stress the need for further research to understand the mechanisms driving excess TB-related morbidity and mortality. Additionally, given the disproportionate impact of TB on people living with HIV, they advocate for the strengthening of systematic post-treatment screening of TB survivors living with HIV and emphasize the need for linkage to long-term integrated care that goes beyond the TB treatment period.
