Post-treatment TPT for PLHIV: In patients previously treated for TB, post-treatment TPT has been considered in view of the 5-7 times higher risk of recurrence of TB among PLHIV and nearly 90% of these due to re-infection. Thus, all CLHIV/PLHIV who had successfully completed treatment for TB disease earlier should receive a course of TPT after completing treatment of TB.
