Anergy testing has been used as an adjunct to tuberculin testing for assessing M. tuberculosis (MTB) infection and indications for isoniazid preventive therapy in HIV-infected persons. We examined fac-tors associated with the stability of skin test responses to purified protein derivative (PPD) and can-dida antigens in a cohort of HIV-infected adults followed prospectively in a tuberculosis preventive therapy trial in Uganda. PPD-positive and anergic subjects in the placebo arms of the preventive ther-apy study underwent repeat skin testing and immunologic testing including measurement of MTB culture filtrate (CF)–stimulated interferon gamma (IFN-
