World Health Organization data tracks the annual incidence of tuberculosis per 100,000 people specifically for HIV-positive cases. This metric is a key indicator for monitoring the dual burden of TB and HIV co-infection worldwide. The dataset originates from the WHO's Global Health Observatory, a primary source for international health statistics.
