This week in Melbourne, a United Nations NGO Conference brings together advocacy groups to discuss why tuberculosis continues to be the biggest killer of HIV positive people in the world. Yet despite this knowledge, only FOUR per cent of people with HIV are currently screened for TB (according to WHO figures). TB/HIV Advocacy Advisor with Action Project Kenya - Lucy Chesire - shared her insights of how to mobilise nations and health resources to tackle this dual issue on so many different levels. She also shared her personal experiences of being a HIV positive woman, who came close to dying when she contracted TB, but had no access to TB screening.
