Characterizing tuberculosis diagnosis and the associations with economic instability and employment discrimination among women living with HIV across 11 countries in sub‐Saharan Africa: a cross‐sectional study
The presence of social protections may modify the associations between employment discrimination and TB diagnosis. Employment discrimination was associated with TB diagnosis in settings without social protections but not in settings with those protections in place-highlighting a potential vulnerability among people living with HIV in settings without non-discrimination protections. Given the role of poverty in driving TB epidemics, social protections focused on employment, economic instability and opportunity may support TB prevention and control.
