Project 2: Exploring the influence of asymptomatic tuberculosis diagnoses on care-seeking, treatment uptake, and prevention engagement in high HIV-prevalence settings. Supervisors: AHRI: Dr Nellie Myburgh UCL: Prof Audrey Prost Tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the leading infectious causes of death globally, particularly in high HIV-prevalence settings. While TB has traditionally been associated with symptomatic disease, a substantial proportion of cases are asymptomatic or subclinical and are often identified through screening programmes. In HIV-endemic settings, this raises important questions about how individuals interpret an asymptomatic diagnosis, whether they perceive TB as urgent, and how this affects engagement with treatment and prevention. This project will examine how asymptomatic TB diagnoses influence care-seeking behaviour, treatment initiation and adherence, and engagement with prevention strategies. Using a mixed-methods approach in high HIV-prevalence communities in KwaZulu-Natal, the study will compare behavioural and clinical outcomes between asymptomatic and symptomatic TB patients. Data collection will include quantitative surveys, qualitative interviews, clinical record reviews, and focus group discussions with healthcare providers. Findings will provide insight into behavioural responses to asymptomatic TB, identify barriers and facilitators to integrated TB/HIV care, and inform strategies to improve patient engagement, treatment adherence, and prevention efforts in high-burden settings. Further details on this project are available here: Project2_concept_Myburgh_Prost.docx Selection process The selection process will include: Stage 1: Initial interview Shortlisted candidates will be invited for an interview. Stage 2: Final interview Final candidates will meet with AHRI and UCL supervisors and participate in a joint panel interview.
