“…This study indicated had opportunistic infection was four times more risk for under nutrition. it is consistent when compared with study conducted in Debre markos (28) and the study conducted in Asella (44). Likewise, our study indicated opportunistic infection was double odd of risk when compared with study conducted in Awassa (45).…”

“…This nding was consistent with study conducted in Humera hospital, West shewa zone ( ve times) and Goma (14). Similarly, nearly the same report from Study conducted in Bale Goba (22) and study conducted in Asella Town (44). But also house food security agreed with study reported from Siltie zone that stated household food security as protective effect on under nutrition HIV/AIDS patients (15).…”

“…The study was intended to assessing magnitude of under nutrition and associated factors. The study indicated the magnitude of under nutrition was 18.8% (95%, CI (15.1%-23%), it is in line with study conducted in Arba minchi(18.2%) (38), Study conducted in south Africa(18.2%) (38), study conducted in Asella (18.3%) (44) and in Addis Ababa (15.1%) (24). The nding is in line with study conducted in Addis Ababa might be due to similarity in socio-economic level and health service accessibility.…”

Background: Globally 38 million people were living with HIV in 2019. In Africa, 25 million people are living with HIV/AIDS undernutrition and food insecurity is endemic. Hence the study aimed to assess the magnitude of undernutrition and associated factors among HIV-infected adults receiving ART. Methods: Institutional based cross-sectional study was conducted among HIV/AIDS patients who following the ART service was selected by a simple random sampling method. The data were collected by direct interview, using a structured questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and a Logistic regression model were employed. Result: The study revealed that the magnitude of under-nutrition was 18.8%. The history of opportunistic infection (AOR=4.518:95% CI: 2.304-8.857), Patients taking ART for less than one year (AOR=3.675:95% CI: 1.831-7.377) household food insecure (AOR= 3.113:95% CI: 1.628-5.950) and dietary diversity score (AOR=2.340:95% CI: 1.221-4.485) were found to have a statistically significant association with undernutrition. Conclusion: The magnitude of undernutrition among people living with HIV/AIDS was found to be high. Having an opportunistic infection, duration of taking ART treatment, household food security status, and dietary diversity status were found to statistically significant association with undernutrition.

“…This may be due to population difference and year of study. The evidence from this study also suggests that the magnitude of underweight is also higher than the ndings reported from different parts of Ethiopia; 18.3% in Asela town (52),18.8% in LegaTafo and surrounding (41),15.1% HIV-infected adults in Addis Ababa (53),19.1% at Selected Health Facilities of Addis Ababa (54),18.23% in Arba Minch town and Arba Minch Zuria (35). This differs from the ndings presented here may be difference in health care awareness of the community, socio demographic difference and year of study.…”

Introduction: Nutritional status is continuing a major public health concern in low income countries. Now a day, sub-Saharan African countries are facing double burden of malnutrition. There are evidences on underweight among general population, but limited evidences on overweight/obesity among people living with HIV. Thus, this study is designed to assess nutritional status and associated factors among adult on antiretroviral therapy. Objective: To assess nutritional status and associated factors among adults on antiretroviral therapy in Gamo zone public health facilities, Southern Ethiopia. Methods: Institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted from March 10 to April 10, 2022, among systematically selected 414 adults on antiretroviral therapy. The data were collected by using a structured interviewer-administered questionnaire, patient record review, and physical measurements. Multinomial logistic regression model was used to assess the association between dependent and independent variables. A p-value < 0.05 with its 95% CI was considered as a statistically significant and interpreted accordingly. Results: The magnitude of Underweight and Overweight/Obese were 28.3% (95% CI: 24.0-32.9)) and 13.3% (95% CI: 10.2–17.0)) respectively. Divorced (AOR = 3.71(1.345–7.496)), not finishing CPT (AOR = 2.96(1.41–6.231)), taking < 5 food groups (AOR = 2.87(1.574–5.266)), food insecure (AOR = 2.69(1.163–6.234)), and chewing khat (AOR = 2.78(1.09–7.114)) were significantly associated with underweight as compared to normal. Whereas, drinking alcohol (AOR = 1.61(1.09–3.61)), and monthly income of < 2000 ETB (AOR = 0.33(0.115–0.954)) were significantly associated with overweight/obese as compared to normal among adults on antiretroviral therapy. Conclusion: The magnitude of underweight among adult on Antiretro viral therapy is higher and magnitude of overweight/obese among adult on Antiretro viral therapy is lower as compared from most of the previous studies. Divorce, taking < 5 food groups, food insecured and chewing khat were factors for underweight, and income and alcohol drinking were factors for overweight/obese. Therefore, this finding shows the need to implement nutritional supplement and health education to improve the nutritional status of adults living with HIV in the study area.

Background Virological failure is under-recognized issue among children living with human immunodeficiency virus in developing countries. This partly may lead to failure to achieve the global goal of 90-90-90 targets in most developing countries including Ethiopia. Objectives This study aimed to assess the virological failure and its predictors among children receiving antiretroviral therapy at the University of Gondar comprehensive specialized hospital, Northwest Ethiopia. Methods An institutional based cross-sectional study was conducted among 253 study cohorts from January 2020-April 2021. Socio-demographic characteristics were collected using a structured questionnaire via a face-to-face interview, while detailed clinical data of the children were collected by reviewing the medical record. About 5 ml of blood were collected for the analysis of complete blood count and viral load quantification. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 20 and variables at p-value < 0.05 in the multivariable analysis were considered as statistically significant. Results In this study, the viral load suppression rate among antiretroviral therapy experienced children was 68.8%. Meanwhile, the overall virological failure among study participants was 19.4%. Children living without family (AOR = 3.63; 95%CI: 1.27–10.24), children with unemployed family (AOR = 4.95; 95%CI: 1.74–14.12), being wasted (AOR = 3.02; 95%CI: 1.19–7.67) being stunted (AOR = 2.38;95%CI:1.03–5.46), anemia (AOR = 5.50:95%CI;1.37–22.04) and being lymphopenic (AOR = 2.69:95%CI;1.04–7.75) were significantly associated with virological failure among children under treatment. Conclusion Higher virological failure among children was noteworthy in the present study. Caretakers other than immediate family, unemployed family, wasted, stunted, anemia, and lymphopenia were significant independent predictors of virological failure. Hence, standard, and optimal management of children under treatment should be warranted.
