Abstract
We investigated tuberculosis (TB) diagnoses among persons living with HIV recently initiated on antiretroviral therapy in Mozambique during 2021-2024 (N = 341,844). TB diagnosis rates were lower among those who completed TB preventive therapy (3.1/1,000 person-years) compared with those who had an incomplete course (11.0/1,000 person-years) or did not start (21.6/1,000 person-years).
