The introduction of antiretroviral therapy (ART) significantly decreases the incidence of tuberculosis (TB) in people living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLWHIV). However, a considerable proportion is still co-infected with TB after ART initiation. Thus, this study aimed to assess the effect of long-term HAART on the incidence of TB among PLWHIV in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.
