Active tuberculosis (TB) disease is treated with a combination of antibiotics. Successful treatment usually requires at least six months of therapy, without missing doses. People living with HIV also need to take HIV treatment, but it may be started a few weeks after TB treatment. Care is needed when taking TB and HIV treatment at the same time.
