Kaplan Meier curves of time to pulmonary tuberculosis treatment among 67 adults with HIV in Jos, Nigeria. Legend for fig. 2: Fig. 2a compares time to treatment in adults with HIV-associated tuberculosis with positive and negative Xpert. Time to treatment was significantly shorter in patients with positive Xpert results. In (b), four patient subgroups are defined using a combination of Xpert and Acid fast bacilli (AFB) result on smear microscopy.
