patients. This is in line with Global health target of ensuring testing 90 % population, 90% linked to care and treatment and 90% viral suppression.
Objective: Broad objective, to assess the feasibility of screening all TB
Patients for HIV through RRI.

4. Method: This cross-sectional study of 53 newly diagnosed
TB and 134 HIV positive patients out of total catchment population of The 10 health facitities were selected for RRI 6 low volume and 4 high volume. The targets were given to each facility to ensure 90% of the population with hiv testing, linked to care and treatment, viral load suppression and IPT uptake for both paediatric and adult

population for a period of 100 days done between April 2016 and July 2016.The test and treat hot report form and bar graphs were used for presentation of data.
The exclusion criteria were low volume facilities with poor positivity rate.

10. DISCUSSION
In Jan-Mar, 2016; 22 TB cases were detected of which 19 were tested for hiv and 5 were hiv positive and in Apr-June, TB cases were detected 15 tested for hiv and 2 were positive.According to RRI biweekly hot report of 7115 that were tested 1241 were children 0-14 years of which 21 were hiv positive plus 33 VL and 5874 adults were tested for hiv with 101 patients hiv positive and 218 VL total vl done were 252.

11. CONCLUSION
The present study suggests that it is feasible to routinely test TB patients for HIV. However it is crucial for health providers to focus on one stop shop as opposed to referral process keeping patient concerns in mind. Motivation Strategies need to be sex-, age-, education- and Residence-specific.
