Anaemia and associated factors in people living with HIV on ART in Southern Province of Zambia
Significant sex-based disparities in anaemia among Zambian PLHIV highlight the need for gender-responsive interventions, including nutritional support and INSTI-based ART. CTX prophylaxis demonstrates protective effects, advocating for broader integration into HIV care. Retrospective design and unmeasured confounders limit causal inference. Future research should prioritize longitudinal studies to refine anaemia management in high-burden settings.
