Postman, the reason people who are HIV positive are susceptible to TB is be that HIV/AID completely weakens your body's defenses to fight and protect itself against any diseases.
Since diseases like TB can be transmitted simply by breathing it, those will very weak immune systems can easily get infected

This is the first time I am hearing of RA. I guess the reason people ask whether is AIDS is because Aids also weakens you immune system. Its really sad that there isn't a cure for it too and one who has it has to suffer for the rest of their life.
I don’t think that TB is a result of the person having an HIV because Tubercolosis is an airborne. I don know that if you have an HIV then you got a Tb then your time is near because HIV will weaken your body’s defense against diseases.
TB has a greater opportunity to develop in someone with a compromised immune system and is one of many secondary infections associated with AIDS.
