Abstract

Abstract Background Tuberculosis (TB) screening is crucial for people in custody, given the close-quarters living. People with human immunodeficiency virus (PWH) in custody face a compounded risk, due to a decreased ability to defend against TB. This study investigated TB screening incidence, detection, 83.3% (5/6) possessed DDIs, 100% of which were successfully mitigated (Table 2). At release all PWH treated for LTBI achieved CD4 counts 200 cells/mm³ (Figure2a) 200 copies/mL)(Figure2b). Conclusion The study found high TB screening incidence Favorable HIV outcomes were maintained during custody while receiving LBTI tx. A need for LTBI+HIV tx education was identified for IDOC intake team. Disclosures Scott Borgetti, MD, GlaxoSmithKline: Grant/Research Support
