AB OBJECTIVE: A study was conducted in Kenya to determine the socioeconomic
risk factors affecting the association between HIV-1 and tuberculosis.
METHODS: A case control approach used. 144 sputum smear tuberculosis
cases were matched on age, sex and neighbourhood status with 3 controls
and were screened for HIV. Socioeconomic information collected included
education status, occupation, marital status, distance from the nearest
health unit, number of wives, land ownership and type of dwelling
houses. RESULTS: The overall association between HIV and TB was found to
be 4.9 (95% CI 2.6-6.8). This association was affected by several
socioeconomic variables. The implication of those results in light of
the ever increasing incidence of HIV infection and tuberculosis disease
on the National Control Programmes are discussed.
