The International Community of Women Living with HIV (ICW) calls for the global TB response to address TB in women living with HIV.

TB disproportionately impacts the poorest and most marginalized women and their families in the world. Yet, just like HIV TB remains a highly stigmatized disease and women in particular face high burden of its impact, particularly women and girls living with HIV.
