## Objective To estimate the prevalence and risk factors associated with tuberculosis (TB) among people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) in China. ## Methods A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses guidelines. After the literature was screened based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria, STATA^®^ version 17.0 software was used for the meta-analysis. The heterogeneity among study data was assessed using __I__^__2__^ statistics. Subgroup analysis and meta-regressions were performed to further explore the source of heterogeneity. ## Results A total of 5241 studies were retrieved. Of these, 44 studies were found to be eligible. The pooled prevalence of HIV/TB co-infection was 6.0%. The risk factors for HIV/TB co-infection included a low CD4^+^ T cell count, smoking, intravenous drug use and several other sociodemographic and clinical factors. Bacillus Calmette–Guérin (BCG) vaccination history was a protective factor. ## Conclusion A high prevalence of TB was observed among people living with HIV/AIDS in China. Low CD4^+^ T
