“…This difference may be explained by differences in measurement of adherence assessment, sociodemographic, economic and cultural back ground of study populations. This study therefore highlights the need for focused intervention on pediatric ART adherence to ensure the effectiveness of ARV regimens and to minimize the possible emergence of drug resistance [19,20]. In this study forgetfulness was the most common reasons for nonadherence to the ART medication (44%).…”

Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) increases the length of life, quality of life and productivity of people living with HIV/ AIDS. However, the effectiveness of ART relies on strict adherence to it though such data are lacking in the study area. The objective of this study is to assess non-adherence to antiretroviral treatment and associated factors among children living with HIV/AIDS in Fiche Hospitals, North Shewa, and Ethiopia. Institutional based crosssectional study design involving 120 participants (patients and their caregivers) was conducted from May to August, 2016. Data was collected using interviewer administered questionnaires. Data analysis was done using SPSS version 20.0 software packages. Descriptive data was generated and placed in terms of frequency and percentage. Chi-square test and binary logistic regression analysis were used to estimate association between variables. Findings were presented using tables, graphs and figures. In this study, the overall prevalence of non-adherence was 35.8%. Most frequently identified reason of missing their dose was forgetting (44.2%). Age of the child, educational level of caregivers, occupational status of the caregiver and World Health Organization disease stages of the child were significantly associated with non-adherence. Adherence level obtained in the study was lower than what is recommended by World Health Organization which is greater than 95%. Forgetfulness was most frequently mentioned barrier of adherence. Effective work need to be done to optimize adherence to antiretroviral therapy in order to make children fully benefit from their medication.

“…In Ethiopia, a lack of disclosing HIV positive status to sexual partners had shown to limit women's ability to participate in the prevention of mother to child HIV transmission programs (8). Similarly, a higher percentage of poor HAART adherence were reported among HIV positive patients who did not disclose their HIV positive status to a sexual partners (9).…”

Background Human Immune Virus’ positive status non-disclosure to a sexual partner is a public health problem where a high prevalence of Human Immune Virus infection is reported on a region with poor partner disclosure status. The aim of this study was to assess Human Immune Virus positive status disclosure to sexual partners and associated factors among adult Human Immune Virus positive clients at Debre Markos town, Amhara Regional State Ethiopia, in, 2019. Methods Facility based cross-sectional study was done among 421 adult Human Immune Virus positive clients in Debre Markos town from September 1-30-2019. Consecutive sampling was used to collect the data. Epidata version 3.1 for data entry and SPSS version 25 for data analysis were used. Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness test of model fitness was checked. Bivariable and multivariable logistic analysis (p<0.05) was performed. Results The median age of participants was 35 years with (IQ of 30-42). Human Immune Virus positive status disclosure was 73.4% (95%, CI: 69-78). Male Sex (AOR=3.04; 95%, CI: 1.75-5.27), urban residence (AOR=2.57; 95%, CI: 1.39-4.77), Good antiretroviral treatment adherence status (AOR=3.18; 95%, CI: 1.58-6.39), stayed 39 months and above on antiretroviral treatment (AOR=4.53; 95%, CI: 2.31-8.88), Knowing sexual partner`s Human Immune Virus status (AOR=2.74; 95%, CI: 1.63-4.63) and provider-initiated Human Immune Virus testing (AOR=2.18; 95%, CI: 1.21-3.92) were statistically significant associated factors with Human Immune Virus status positive status disclosure. Conclusions and recommendation Human Immune Virus’ positive status disclosure to sexual partner was low. Sex, Residence, Duration of Anti-Retroviral Treatment, Adherence status to antiretroviral treatment, provider-initiated Human Immune Virus testing and knowing sexual partner`s Human Immune Virus status have had a statistically significant association with disclosure. It is better to promote provider-initiated Human Immune Virus testing and give special attention to females and rural residents regarding Human Immune Virus status disclosure to sexual partners.
