Any information on this page promoting gender ideology is extremely inaccurate and disconnected from the immutable biological reality that there are two sexes, male and female. The Trump Administration rejects gender ideology and condemns the harms it causes to children, by promoting their chemical and surgical mutilation, and to women, by depriving them of their dignity, safety, well-being, and opportunities. This page does not reflect biological reality and therefore the Administration and this Department rejects it.
TB and HIV coinfection is very common globally. TB is less commonly seen in the United States. But it can provide a challenge in areas and communities where latent and active infection are seen. HRSA and the CDC have developed guidelines and training tools for clinicians tackling TB in the context of HIV infection.
