Figure 1The trend in human immunodeficiency virus seroprevalence in suspected tuberculosis cases at public health centers during 2001–2013 in Korea. HIV seroprevalence is presented as the number of confirmed HIV-infected individuals per 10,000 HIV-tested individuals among suspected tuberculosis cases at public health centers every year. HIV = human immunodeficiency virus.
