    ..40 (0.9-2.3) for 25-50 years and 10.44 (2.3-47.9) for >50 years and remained stable over two periods examined. These results suggest that HIV increases the proportion of TB due to recent transmission in the elderly...

    R M G J Houben
    Infectious Disease Epidemiology Unit, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, London, UK
    Int J Tuberc Lung Dis 15:24-31. 2011
    ..As HIV-positive TB cases are less likely to be source cases, equal or higher clustering in HIV-positives would suggest that HIV mainly increases the risk of TB following recent infection...
