Dear Dr Abhimanyu,

 

Good morning!

 

To remove content duplication, we would like to change the name of the page: Interventions for Screening of TB in TB-HIV Patients | Knowledge Base (ntep.in) to Interventions for Prevention of TB in HIV Patients. 

 

Alternatively, we can keep the same name but change the LO as: Importance of bilateral screening in TB and HIV care settings for co-infections. Highlight why HIV screening is important in TB diagnostic labs and vice versa. Provide some studies showing this importance. But this might clash with TB-HIV Bidirectional Screening | Knowledge Base (ntep.in) which already exists [as you mentioned earlier] but no content is available on Kbase so we cannot compare for now.

 

Looking forward for your response at the earliest.
