Abstract:

Objective: To analyze the screening of MTB/HIV co-infection in Zhejiang Province from 2015 to 2021, so as to provide scientific basis for formulating and adjusting corresponding prevention and control policies. Methods: The relevant data of MTB/HIV co-infection in Zhejiang Province from 2015 to 2021 were collected from the Annual Report of Prevention and Management of MTB/HIV co-infection in Zhejiang Province. Excel 2010 software was used to organize and calculate the data. JoinPoint software was used to identify the inflection points of double infection detection rate and positive rate. ArcGIS 10.8 software was used to draw the spatial distribution map and visualize the results. R software was used to compare the differences between groups. Results: A total of 773 patients with double infection were found in Zhejiang Province from 2015 to 2021,771 patients (99.74%, 771/773) were over 15 years old, 90.94% (703/773) of the patients received tuberculosis treatment. Jinhua and Wenzhou were the areas with high incidence of double infection in Zhejiang Province, numbers of patients were 149 and 146, respectively. The detection rate of HIV screening in tuberculosis patients increased in the past seven years (APC=4.9, P<0.05), while the positive detection rate in HIV/AIDS patients showed a trend of decrease (APC=-15.5, P<0.05). Conclusion: The MTB/HIV co-infection screening in Zhejiang Province from 2015 to 2021 has a certain effect on the early detection and treatment of patients with co-infection. The screening rate of tuberculosis among HIV/AIDS patients should be improved, Jinhua and Wenzhou should strengthen the prevention and control of co-infection epidemic situation according to local conditions.
