HIV and TB: Amina's Story

The spread of drug-resistant TB is increasing at alarming rates, especially in areas with high levels of HIV infection. OSI’s Public Health Watch is working on advocacy efforts that link TB and HIV/AIDS programs in the struggle to contain and reverse the twin epidemics. Such programs include novel approaches in southern Africa that train local villagers to become community health workers, and raise awareness of treatment options for people infected with drug-resistant TB and HIV.

The photographs in this slideshow were taken in Tanzania for OSI as part of an advocacy campaign to highlight community-based health care in action.
