The call for 100-100-100
- If we are to end AIDS, we have to ensure that along with 100-100-100 (100% of people with HIV knows their status, 100% of people with HIV are on lifesaving antiretroviral therapy, and 100% of them are virally suppressed), we also have to ensure that no one suffers or dies of TB.
- We must ensure that 100% people with HIV know their TB status (on an ongoing basis), 100% of those with active TB disease are treated with medicines that work on them, and 100% of them are using a full range of appropriate combination prevention options to stop further spread of TB and HIV infections.
- Also, 100% of those people with HIV who do not have active TB disease, must be offered TB preventive therapy (to reduce the risk of latent TB to convert into active disease).
- Treatment is also prevention (in case of both TB and HIV) as it stops the spread of infection soon after initiation of treatment with effective medicines. Latest HIV and TB treatment regimens and prevention options must be accessible to all.
- Additionally we must advance stronger action towards #endHunger, #endTobacco, #endAlcohol, #preventDiabetes, #NCDs, and other risk factors associated with TB.
- People-centred, rights-based and gender transformative approaches remain the bedrock to advance health programmes – including those for TB and HIV.
- Zero catastrophic cost, Zero HIV and TB stigma and discrimination must be a reality for all.
