Stunting and its associated factors among children living with HIV/AIDS: a cross-sectional study

20242 citationsOpen accessDebre Markos University

Abstract

Stunting among HIV/AIDS-infected children was very high. Poor ART adherence, lack of co-trimoxazole prophylaxis, opportunistic infection, and low feeding frequency were significantly associated to stunting among HIV/AIDS-infected children. Strategies need to be devised to address factors amenable to modification to improve the growth of children living with HIV/AIDS.
