ABSTRACT
We report HIV seropositivity among tuberculosis patients from our hospital between 1994-99. Of the 500 patients with various forms of tuberculosis, two were found to be seropositive (0.4%). This report contrasts with the HIV seropositivity reports from other parts of India where increasing HIV seropositivity has been reported. As the HIV infection is making rapid in-roads in India, it is suggested that continuous HIV sero-surveillance should be done in patients with tuberculosis.
