On 2–4 April, 2008 the WHO HIV/AIDS and TB Departments, in collaboration with other key partners, convened a meeting of international stakeholders to develop recommendations for WHO and guidance for national programs and their partners for implementation of the Three I’s for people living with HIV. Prevention and treatment of TB in people living with HIV is an urgent priority for both HIV/AIDS and TB programs. The Three I’s, Isoniazid preventive treatment (IPT), intensified case finding (ICF) for active TB, and TB Infection Control (IC), are key public health strategies to decrease the impact of TB on people living with HIV.
