✦AI Summary
Research presented at AIDS 2026 indicates that people with HIV in South Africa who interrupt their treatment face a significantly higher risk of developing tuberculosis, even after resuming medication. The study found that treatment interruptions accounted for over half of all first TB episodes in the observed cohort.
People with HIV in South Africa are ten times more likely to develop TB while interrupting treatment than while taking it. Even after resuming treatment and achieving viral suppression, their risk stayed 50% higher.
