Homeless Shelters: HIV Testing During the Atlanta Tuberculosis Outbreak (2008-2018)

People experiencing homelessness are at increased risk of tuberculosis (TB) and HIV. We examined the impact of integrating HIV testing and mandatory TB screening on HIV test uptake (HTU) during a multishelter TB outbreak in Atlanta, Georgia (2008-2018). Overall HTU was low; however, the intervention led to a reversal of declining HTU trend (rate ratio = 1.11; 95% confidence interval = 1.04, 1.19). Concerted efforts to increase HIV testing access and uptake alongside robust TB control efforts may increase progress toward the goals of End TB and Ending the HIV Epidemic.
