BACKGROUND: Good adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) suppresses the viral load, reconstitutes the immune system, and decreases opportunistic infections among HIV-positive patients. However, adherence to ART is still challenging in developing countries such as Ethiopia. The study, therefore, aimed to assess adherence and its associated factors among HIV-positive patients on ART in southern Ethiopia in 2020. MATERIALS AND METHODS: -value of less than 0.05 was considered significant in a multivariate logistic regression analysis. RESULTS: (AOR=5.634, 95% CI 1.203, 26.383) were significantly associated with adherence to ART among patients. CONCLUSION: were positively associated with adherence. Good counseling to patients from rural areas, with low educational status, and with low CD4 counts, and on the importance of disclosure, is recommended and should be given by professionals.
