Results indicate that 71.4% of all smear positive TB patients and 75% of all multibacillary (MB) leprosy patients that are HIV seropositive in this study are resident in the urban areas. This study emphasizes the need for careful sample selection in studies involving HIV and tuberculosis/leprosy, and for careful monitoring of the HIV/leprosy interactions.</p>  a0001-5938
