To effectively address what this year’s World Disasters Report calls a long-term and complex disaster, HIV should be given much higher priority in disaster management programmes, whether in preparedness and risk reduction, or during emergency response and recovery. The Report highlights the need for humanitarian organisations to increase the scale and scope of programmes for HIV prevention, treatment and care, and for tackling the associated stigma and discrimination.

The Infectiousness of Tuberculosis Patients Coinfected with HIVThe Infectiousness of Tuberculosis Patients Coinfected with HIV

A small number of inadequately treated MDR TB patients coinfected with HIV were found to be responsible for almost all TB transmission in this study. This highlights the importance of rapid TB drug-susceptibility testing to allow prompt initiation of effective treatment, and environmental control measures to reduce ongoing TB transmission in crowded health care settings. TB infection control must be prioritized in order to prevent health care facilities from disseminating the drug-resistant TB that they are attempting to treat. (Photo: IRIN)
