People living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are more likely to develop tuberculosis (TB), and their co-infection (HIV-TB) increases the risk of death. We aimed to describe the global trends, regional differences and age distribution of HIV-TB. Annual new cases, age-standardized incidence rates (ASRs) and age-specific incidence rates with 95% uncertainty intervals (UIs) of HIV-infected drug-susceptible tuberculosis (HIV-DS-TB), HIV-infected multidrug-resistant tuberculosis without extensive drug resistance (HIV-MDR-TB) and HIV-infected extensively drug-resistant tuberculosis (HIV-XDR-TB) during 1990–2019 were collected from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019. To reveal the trends of HIV-TB by region and age, the percentage change of new cases and estimated annual percentage change (EAPC) of ASRs were calculated. The ASR of HIV-XDR-TB increased significantly by an average of 14.77% (95% CI: 11.05%–18.62%) per year during 1990–2019 worldwide, while the ASRs of HIV-DS-TB and HIV-MDR-TB decreased after 2005. HIV-XDR-TB was a great threat to Eastern Europe for the largest number of new cases (792, 95% UI: 487–1167) and the highest ASR (0.34 per 100,000 population, 95% UI: 0.21–0.50). In addition, Oceania had the largest rise in ASRs of HIV-MDR-TB (EAPC = 22.56, 95% CI: 18.62–26.64) and HIV-XDR-TB (EAPC = 32.95, 95% CI: 27.90–38.20) during 1990–2019. Recently, age-specific incidence rates of HIV-XDR-TB increased in all age groups, especially in the 50–69 age groups among high, low-middle and low Socio-Demographic Index regions. Additionally, the proportion of patients aged &lt;15 years was nearly 10% of new cases in sub-Saharan Africa in 2019, which was higher than in other regions. HIV-infected drug-resistant TB is common in Oceania and Eastern Europe. Moreover, HIV-XDR-TB among elderly people became increasingly prevalent. In the future, the collaboration of management for HIV and TB should be intensified in Oceania and Eastern Europe, and more concerns need to be paid in elderly people.
