For adults and adolescents with HIV who have signs or symptoms of TB, screen positive for TB, are seriously ill or have advanced HIV disease, concurrent testing using low-complexity automated nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs) on respiratory samples and LF-LAM on urine should be used as the initial diagnostic strategy for diagnosing TB, rather than low complexity automated NAATs on respiratory samples alone.
