Both HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis (TB) are major health problems in Ethiopia. Recent data indicate that 2.1 percent of adults age 15-49 (7.7 percent in urban areas and 0.9 percent in rural areas) are HIV-positive (Single Point HIV Prevalence Estimate, Federal HIV/AIDS Prevention and Control Office [HAPCO], June 2007). Ethiopia is ranked seventh in TB prevalence among high-burden countries (Global Tuberculosis Control Report, World Health Organization [WHO] 2008).
