The test-and-treat approach recommends early ART initiation (same day). Early start has double the benefits as treatment and prevention. However, there is limited information regarding same-day in Ethiopia. Hence, this study aimed to assess magnitude factors of among people living with HIV (PLHIV) on at Nekemte specialized hospital, Western Ethiopia.A cross-sectional was conducted 483 PLHIV from January 10 February 15, 2021.

Accordingly, facility based cross-sectional study was conducted on 289 by reviewing medical records unit. The collected data were entered Epi version 3.1 Stata 14 used for analysis. Variables with P-value < 0.25 at 95% confidence interval binary logistic regression analysis...
Background: The function of antiretroviral therapy is to enhance immunity and prevent the occurrence opportunistic infection. But showed a failure manage infection after time. Nowadays, an accepted criterion confirm Antiretroviral (ART) treatment virologic failure. Regarding this failure, there are no well-addressed findings, especially in study area. Therefore research, magnitude factors that contribute for virological ART have been identified. Methods: Facilitybased cross-sectional was...
Abstract Background The conduct of research is critical to advancing human health. However, there are issues ethical concern specific the design and in conflict settings. Conflict-affected countries often lack strong platform support technical guidance monitoring ethics, which may lead use divergent standards some poorly elaborated loosely enforced. Despite growing about research, a dearth information compliance areas. Valid ethically informed decision-making premier pact with participants...
