Adults and adolescents who are living with HIV, have unknown or positive tuberculin skin test
(TST) status and are unlikely to have active TB should receive at least 6 months of IPT as part of
a comprehensive package of HIV care. IPT should be given to such individuals irrespective of the
degree of immunosuppression, and also to those on ART, those who have previously been treated
for TB and pregnant women.
