Abstract
Globally, Tuberculosis and Human immunodeficiency virus co-infection is a threat to the control of the Tuberculosis and Human immunodeficiency virus epidemics if measures are not put in place to manage the dual infection. In Ghana, the Health service in collaboration with the National Tuberculosis Control Program and the National AIDS Control Program in June 2007 adopted the World Health Organization policy for the clinical management of Tuberculosis and Human immunodeficiency virus. However data on the implementation of the collaborative Tuberculosis and Human immunodeficiency virus activities were not consistent between the two programs. This study was therefore designed to assess the level of implementation of the recommended activities in the Sekondi/Takoradi district of the Western Region.
