  • Numerator - Number of PLHIV given IPT in the defined period  includes All the eligible HIV Patients started on INH Preventive Therapy in a defined time period 
  • Denominator - Number of PLHIV enrolled in the ART clinic in the defined period includes all the new HIV cases enrolled in the ART clinics without active TB disease in a defined time period. Those who are already on TB treatment should also be excluded.                                    

Example:

The total number of HIV patients newly registered in an ART clinic from Jan-Dec 2019 is 100. Out of them, 10 were already on TB treatment, 10 were newly detected to have TB and 78 people were started on IPT.

Percentage of PLHIV given IPT against total eligible PLHIV = (78 / 80) * 100 = 97.5%
