Among approximately 1.9 million people living with HIV (PLHIV), an estimated 46,000 also had TB in 2019 alone. HIV-associated TB incidence has continuously increased nationally. It is important to understand how PLHIV with TB undergo treatment because this is essential for improving outcomes. This study assessed the uptake of TB treatment and evaluated outcomes among PLHIV receiving antiretroviral therapy at a tertiary healthcare facility in South-South Nigeria.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study was a hospital-based retrospective cohort study, that reviewed the records of 213 PLHIV treated for TB between January 2015 and December 2019. Patient records were examined and data extracted using a structured pro forma. Analysis was done with IBM SPSS version 26 using descriptive statistics (frequencies and Percentages) and inferential statistics (chi-square test) with statistical significance set at p &lt; 0.05.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>All participants were enrolled in the National Tuberculosis, Leprosy and Buruli Ulcer Control Programme (NTBLCP). Of these, 182 individuals (85.5%) successfully completed the full 24-week course of anti-tuberculosis therapy. Treatment outcomes were classified separately, with 99 (46.5%) patients cured and 74 (34.7%) completing treatment without bacteriological confirmation, 28 (13.1%) discontinued treatment prematurely, and 12 (5.6%) were referred to other healthcare facilities for continued care.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>TB treatment outcomes among PLHIV were suboptimal, with notable levels of default and transfer-out. Outcomes were significantly associated with socio-demographic factors and treatment duration. Strengthening adherence, support mechanisms and improving access to affordable diagnostic monitoring services may enhance TB treatment outcomes among PLHIV.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/23259582261470686","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,10]],"date-time":"2026-09-10T17:17:01Z","timestamp":1789060621000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Tuberculosis Treatment Uptake and Outcomes Among HIV-Positive Patients on Antiretroviral Therapy at a Tertiary Health Facility in South-South, Nigeria"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"Adesuwa Queen","family":"Aigbokhaode","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal Medical Centre"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9061-3622","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ayodapo Oluwadare","family":"Jegede","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Obafemi Awolowo University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nosa Lancy","family":"Orhue","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal Medical Centre"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Omo","family":"Ekeneam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Anesthesiology, Federal Medical Centre Asaba"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Oluwaseun Opeyemi","family":"Adesoye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Benson Idahosa University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Noruwa Patience","family":"Ekhator","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Benin\/University of Benin Teaching Hospital"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Silvia Isioma","family":"Ezemenahi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nnamdi Azikiwe University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Emmanuel Okechukwu","family":"Ezunu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal Medical Centre Asaba"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Raymond","family":"Aghimien","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal Medical Centre"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Uchenna","family":"Enwereuzo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal Medical Centre"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ibukun Jacob","family":"Akinkunmi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Federal Medical Centre Asaba"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_7_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.54394\/CJQU6666"},{"key":"e_1_3_7_3_2","volume-title":"Tuberculosis (TB)","author":"World Health Organization Regional Office for Africa","unstructured":"World Health Organization Regional Office for Africa.
