TB can thrive in people whose immune systems have been weakened by HIV, and HIV can replicate faster in people who are ill with TB. While TB is a curable disease and HIV is treatable, people who are co-infected with TB/HIV face a higher risk of severe illness and death as a result of the interaction between the two diseases. The burden TB as a disease causes is much felt on the poor and vulnerable people with fewest resources to cope with it.
