Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the status of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) and tuberculosis preventive treatment (TPT) among HIV/AIDS cases in Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province, and to analyze the influencing factors of LTBI, so as to provide the evidence for optimizing active tuberculosis screening and early intervention strategies.
Methods:Study subjects were HIV/AIDS cases who received antiretroviral therapy and CD4+T lymphocyte count testing at designated HIV treatment hospitals from October 2024 to August 2025. The interferon-gamma release assay was used for LTBI screening. Data on HIV/AIDS cases, including gender, age, and other variables, were collected through the Surveillance System of China Information System for Disease Control and Prevention. A multivariable logistic regression model was used to analyze the influencing factors for LTBI among HIV/AIDS cases.
Results:A total of 3 719 HIV/AIDS cases were included, including 2 983 males (80.21%) and 736 females (19.79%). The study population was predominantly aged 40-<65 years, with 1 948 individuals accounting for 52.38%. LTBI was detected in 399 cases, with a detection rate of 10.73%. Among LTBI cases, 103 received TPT, representing a TPT rate of 25.81%. Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that HIV/AIDS cases who were male (OR=1.796, 95%CI: 1.326-2.431), aged ≥40 years (40-<65 years, OR=1.895, 95%CI: 1.424-2.523; ≥65 years, OR=2.365, 95%CI: 1.575-3.551), non-Wenzhou household registration (OR=1.462, 95%CI: 1.150-1.857), with education level below junior college (primary school and below, OR=1.578, 95%CI: 1.023-2.394; junior high school, OR=1.725, 95%CI: 1.161-2.562; high school/technical secondary school, OR=1.639, 95%CI: 1.066-2.518), CD4+T lymphocyte count ≥500 cells/μL (OR=2.642, 95%CI: 1.420-4.915), and at the HIV infection stage (OR=1.322, 95%CI: 1.022-1.709) had a higher risk of LTBI.
Conclusions:The detection rate of LTBI and the TPT rate among LTBI cases are relatively low among HIV/AIDS cases in Wenzhou City. Gender, age, household registration, education level, CD4+T lymphocyte count, and disease stage are influencing factors for LTBI in HIV/AIDS cases.
