Is TB associated to HIV curable?

 
Tuberculosis (TB) is caused by a bacterium. Due to sustained efforts, TB is mostly curable these days. However, there are cases of TB that are resistant to the drugs usually used (MDR TB). These cases of MDR TB can be very difficult to treat and will require highly intensive efforts for a cure. TB associated with HIV is treated just as TB that is not HIV associated. The only difference is that along with treatment for TB, the patient will also require Anti Retroviral Therapy (ART). ART will help to control the virus, which will improve the immune status of the patient and this will help in curing the TB.
