| Abstract: | Despite the numerous interventions to alter the course of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Ghana, challenges still remain, especially in HIV/TB co-infection. It is spread by certain types of human behaviors which are influenced by age groups and societal norms. The aim of the study was conducted to assess the prevalence/rate of HIV infection among age groups of TB patients attending the Chest Clinic at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital in Ghana. Methodology: The study employed a cross-sectional study design utilizing retrospective secondary data. A redcap tool was used to collect the data from entries made of patients’ daily clinical attendance at the Korle Bu Chest Clinic from January 2020 to September 2020. The data was edited, coded, transcribed, cleaned, and analyzed using Microsoft Excel tool 2019 and SPSS version.25.0 and the results were presented in descriptive statistics such as frequencies, percentages, tables, and figures. Findings: The total of clients was five hundred and five (505). The mean age of the respondents was 42.9 (±15.9). The majority,40% of the patients are in the 41-60 age group followed by the 39.9% (21-40) age group. 61.7% (465) of the patients were males. There was no recorded HIV infection among the ages 61years and above group even though HIV infections were recorded in the lower age groups. The highest HIV contraction of 10.0% (15) occurred in the 41-60years age group followed by 9.5% (13) in the youthful age(21-40years) group. Conclusion: The prevalence/rate of HIV among TB patients was 7.5% among (41-60years. |
