HIV misclassification correction to tuberculosis vital registration data in South Africa: before correction (A) and after correction (B). Black points are death rates per 100 000 population due to tuberculosis without HIV co-infection from vital registration data in South Africa. Included in the figures are age-specific tuberculosis death rates from 2000 to 2014. Panel (A) visualizes tuberculosis death rates prior to HIV misclassification correction, whereas panel (B) visualizes tuberculosis death rates after HIV misclassification correction. This adjustment is performed due to evidence that HIV deaths are misassigned to other underlying causes of deaths, including tuberculosis
