ART improves survival time and quality of life of HIV patients but ART treatment outcomes might be affected by several factors. However, factors affecting treatment outcomes are poorly understood in Ethiopia. Hence, this study assesses treatment outcomes and its determinants for HIV patients on ART in selected health facilities of Kembata and Hadiya zones.
