A multidrug regimen is prescribed for a client with HIV and
TB to prevent the development of resistance of the tubercle

antiretrovirals, a multidrug regimen is needed to inhibit the
proliferation of the virulent tubercle bacilli. The duration of
antitubercular therapy is typically 6 to 9 months and is not
shortened by the use of multiple medications. A client who is
receiving HIV and TB therapy is at an increased risk of
adverse reactions because of the complex medication
regimens and complications secondary to
immunosuppression.
