Abstract
Objective: This study aims to description knowledge and perceived stigma towards tuberculosis among tuberculosis suspect. Background: Knowledge and TB-related stigma constitutes ones of the major social factors causing delayed diagnosis and treatment.

Eligible population age≥ 15 was interviewed to find TB symptoms and was screened with thorax x-ray for suspects to be tested MTB with microscopy, LJ culture and X-pert MTB/RIF. All positively screened participants also were interviewed about knowledge, attitude and stigma. Descriptive analysis was done using STATA. Results: Total sample: 8.466. The proportion of TB suspect participants reported the way of TB transmission namely black magic, genetic and through food/drink were18%, 47% and 59% respectively and high for males who living in rural and Sumatera. The proportion of the TB suspect participants mention hiding family member who has TB was 13% and high for males living in rural. Only 20% of participants mentioned that TB treatment was free.
