The TB/HIV 2019 symposium is convened just prior to IAS 2019 and it is co-hosted by the International AIDS Society (IAS), in collaboration with the Stop TB Partnership and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).This symposium represents a unique opportunity to bring together a diversity of scientific, programmatic and community interests from of both the HIV and tuberculosis (TB) fields to share current knowledge on science of latent TB infection, as well as present and future opportunities and challenges in HIV-associated TB prevention. Sessions explore latent TB infection, from the biology and immunology perspective, current and future treatment options and the policy and implementation perspectives to decrease the burden of TB in HIV programs, including programmatic approaches through primary health care and differentiated service delivery. Additional focus will also be given to the current and future developments of TB vaccines and the relevance and implications for high burden HIV settings. The symposium will emphasize the action that the HIV and TB communities need to take jointly to reach global targets
