HIV & TB are very close cousins because HIV lowers your immunity so much that diseases like TB take advantage & attack you with little or no resistance. Therefore HIV testing is very important so that you’re in control of the risk factors for TB.

HIV and TB are two infectious diseases that are closely linked. There is a strong and bidirectional relationship between HIV and TB, meaning that each infection can significantly impact the course and severity of the other.

TB is an extremely dangerous disease that can lead to death if not identified and treated early. Please go for TB Screening the moment you have a cough that is persistent for 2 weeks. TB is curable but only if you take your medicine religiously.
#LiveTBFree #EndTBUg
Also important to note is the fact that TB is a dangerous disease BUT is curable as long as you take your medicine as prescribed by a health worker. Don't forget that treatment is absolutely free at all Gov't Health Facilities.
#EndTBUg #LiveTBFreeUg
TB is curable if you adhere to medication because the antibiotics used in treatment target and destroy the bacteria causing the disease. This ensures sufficient dosage and duration to eliminate the bacteria and prevent them from developing resistance.

Once again reminding you that TB is a killer disease that needs to be screened early enough. It spreads through the air and can be transmitted to anyone and everyone. Be vigilant and once you see any symptoms, please go for screening immediately.
