Incidence and predictors of attrition from <scp>HIV</scp> treatment among adults living with <scp>HIV</scp> in high‐caseload facilities following implementation of universal test and treat strategy in Ethiopia: A prospective cohort study

Abstract

The overall incidence of attrition among people living with HIV enrolled into HIV treatment was not as high as what was reported by other studies. Independent predictors of attrition were administrative regions in Ethiopia where health facilities are located, not having a child, not owning a mobile phone and being ambulatory/bedridden functional status at the time of diagnosis. Concerted efforts should be taken to reduce the magnitude of attrition from HIV treatment and address its drivers.
