NCT ID NCT07312266
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether people with tuberculosis (TB) who have no symptoms can still pass the infection to others. Researchers will follow about 6,770 participants, including those with HIV, and use advanced genetic testing to track TB spread among close contacts. The goal is to better understand how asymptomatic TB contributes to the epidemic.
