The risk of developing tuberculosis (TB) is estimated to be between 20-37 times greater in people living with HIV than among those without HIV infection. In 2009, there were 9.4 million new cases of TB, of which 1.2 (13%) million were among people living with HIV. Of the 1.7 million people who died of TB, 400 000 (24%) were living with HIV. TB is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among people living with HIV.
