Predictors of Anemia Among HIV-Infected Children on Antiretroviral Therapy in Wolaita Zone South Ethiopia: A Facility-Based Cross-Sectional Study

摘要

Anemia is a global public health problem, and the majority of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-positive people become anemic at some point in the course of the disease. We lack adequate evidence on the magnitude of anemia among children on highly active antiretroviral therapy in Ethiopia and particularly in South Ethiopia. Thus, this study aimed at determining the proportion and associated factors of anemia among children on highly active antiretroviral therapy in Wolaita zone, South Ethiopia.
