The article analyses the results of questionnaire survey, of patients with tuberculosis associated with HIV-infection. The insufficient awareness about of issues of clinical course, treatment and prevention of tuberculosis was established. The distinctive feature of this category of patients is a lower medical activity and ignorance of characteristics of clinical manifestations of tuberculosis when associated with HIV-infection. This situation creates serious obstacles for timely detection of tuberculosis. Yet another negative factor also is lower readiness of health institutions to provide medical care to patients with HIV-infection.
