Background<\/b>:\u00a0The 2014 global TB reported that an estimated 1.2 million (12%) of the 9.6 million people who\u00a0developed TB worldwide were HIV-positive and the estimated TB\/HIV co-infection rate was highest (32%) in\u00a0<\/span>countries in the African region. In Nigeria, the TB\/HIV co-infection rate was approximately 23% thus the co-<\/span>infection rate in Benue State placed 9 on the HIV prevalence table of Nigeria was expected to be around this\u00a0<\/span>value.<\/span><\/p>

Objective:<\/b> This study assessed the TB\/HIV co-infection rate in Benue State.<\/p>

Method:<\/b> A Retrospective analysis of facility based service delivery data collected over three years from 2012 to\u00a02014.<\/span><\/p>

Results:<\/b> The numbers of sputum smear positive TB clients are 2974, 2856, 2233 for year 2012, 2013 and 2014\u00a0respectively; of these numbers 861, 832, 670 were HIV positive. Which are represented as 32%, 31% and 31%\u00a0<\/span>respectively; with a male to female aggregate proportion for the three years as 49% to 51%.<\/span><\/p>

Conclusion:<\/b> The 31% TB\/HIV Co infection rate of Benue state is within the African regional level.<\/p>

Key words:<\/b> TB\/HIV, co infection, Benue<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
