HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis (TB), and tobacco use are three important global health challenges. These epidemics act independently but also collectively, amplifying the health impacts of each. This synergism of diseases is termed "syndemic" 1 . These three epidemics are usually approached through separate programs led by infectologists, pulmonologists, and behavioralists, respectively. The social determinants of disease, including poverty, low-education, high population-density, and cultural norms, are common to all three. The syndemic also challenges health systems and suggests that a systems-based approach may improve disease outcomes as well as practices
