Overview

Cross-sectional study shows 26.33% prevalence of hematological abnormalities in HIV patients, indicating significant public health implications for anemia.

Key Points

  • Anemia prevalence among HIV/AIDS patients on antiretroviral therapy was 16.7%, highlighting a major health issue.
  • Logistic regression indicated male gender and low BMI were significantly associated with anemia in HIV patients.
  • A complete blood count was conducted using a unicell DxH 800 hematological analyzer for accurate diagnosis.
  • Risk factors for anemia included low income and long duration of HIV infection, emphasizing the need for early intervention.
