Tuberculosis (TB) and human immunodeficiency virus infection / acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) are both serious global public health threats. Early detection of infected persons and/or patients through TB/HIV bi-directional screening is crucial for prevention and control strategy in China and globally. In recent years, with the promotion and application of new TB and HIV detection technologies worldwide, TB/HIV bi-directional screening technologies and strategies have made remarkable changes. This expert consensus introduces the significance and challenges of TB/HIV bi-directional screening, summarizes important progress of research and applications, and makes recommendations on screening measures and procedures to further strengthen TB/HIV bi-directional screening in China.
