o Lives or lived in the same dwelling unit or plot of land and shares or has shared the same housekeeping arrangements as the Index Patient for one or more nights ≤ 90 days prior to the Index Patient starting TB treatment
o Has shared more than four hours of indoor airspace with the Index Patient during any one-week period ≤ 90 days prior to the Index Patient starting TB treatment. This may include indoor airspace within or outside the home.
* Close contacts must be in one of the following high-risk groups:
* All children 0 to \<5 years old at the time of Enrollment, regardless of LTBI or HIV status
* Adults, adolescents, and children ≥5 years of age who are TBI test positive (either skin test positive\* or IGRA-positive) and whose HIV status is negative, indeterminate, or unknown.
* Adults, adolescents, and children ≥5 years of age who have a documented HIV infection regardless of TBI test status.
