TB is a disease of major public health concern especially in Nigeria where there is an upsurge due to the HIV epidemic. Nigeria is ranked 3rd among the 22 countries with the high burden of TB. The risk of developing TB among HIV patients is 20-37 times higher than those that are HIV negative. studies have shown that those that are HIV positive have limited knowledge of TB and therefore are at risk of infection and development of active tuberculosis. studies done on KAP regarding TB among HIV patients in Nigeria are largely descriptive and the effect of health education intervention has not been tested.This study is aimed on testing the effectiveness of health education intervention in improving KAP regarding TB among HIV patients.
