Same-Day ART Initiation and Associated Factors Among People Living with HIV on Lifelong Therapy at Nekemte Specialized Hospital, Western Ethiopia
© 2023 Bayisa et al..
Background: The test-and-treat approach recommends early ART initiation (same day). Early ART start has double the benefits as treatment and as prevention. However, there is limited information regarding same-day ART initiation in Ethiopia. Hence, this study aimed to assess the magnitude and factors of same-day ART initiation among people living with HIV (PLHIV) on ART at Nekemte specialized hospital, in Western Ethiopia.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 483 PLHIV from January 10 to February 15, 2021. Data were collected using an investigator-administered questionnaire. Epi Data 3.1 and STATA 14.0 were used for data entry and analysis, respectively. Variables with P-value <0.25 from bivariable analysis were included in the multivariable analysis. AOR with 95% CI and P-value <0.05 were used to declare statistical significance.
Results: A total of 483 study subjects participated and gave a 100% response rate. Two thirds (65%) of them started ART on the same day with a 95% CI [60.2-68.8]. Urban dwellers (AOR = 3.93 (95% 1.96-7.87)), with no OIs (AOR = 4.02 (95% CI: 1.54-10.47)), not screened for TB (AOR = 6.02 (95% CI: 1.71-21.15)), tested via VCT (AOR = 2.32 (95% CI: 1.37-3.26)), who have not used CPT (AOR = 1.88 (95% CI: 1.10-3.23)), who have not used IPT (AOR = 2.36 (95% CI: 1.0-5.57)), who were tested in 2019/20 (AOR = 2.37 (95% CI: 1.08-5.518)), and with BMI ≥25 kg/m2 (AOR = 2.18 (95% CI: 1.05-4.52)) were significantly associated with same-day ART initiation.
Conclusion: Two thirds of study subjects initiated ART on the same day as HIV diagnosis. Voluntary testing and immediate referral to HIV care, advocating test-and-treat, and intensive counseling should be strengthened and reinforced for newly diagnosed HIV-positive people. Given that, high attention should be paid to individuals from urban residence, not screened for TB, who have not used CPT and IPT prophylaxis.
