Level of non-adherence and associated factors among children on antiretroviral therapy in public hospitals of South Wollo Zone, Northeast Ethiopia
According to the current study, the level of non-adherence to antiretroviral therapy remains high compared to the targets set by the United Nations Joint Program on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) Project 95-95-95. TB co-infection, undisclosed diagnostic status, and poor caregiver knowledge were found to be significantly associated with non-adherence. Before and throughout ART, healthcare providers should provide intense and ongoing counseling to children and their caregivers.
