Stunting and its associated factors among children living with HIV/AIDS: a cross-sectional study

CONCLUSION: Stunting among HIV/AIDS-infected children was very high. Poor ART adherence, lack of co-trimoxazole prophylaxis, opportunistic infection, and low feeding frequency were significantly associated to stunting among HIV/AIDS-infected children. Strategies need to be devised to address factors amenable to modification to improve the growth of children living with HIV/AIDS.PMID:38694360 | PMC:PMC11060262 | DOI:10.1097/MS9.0000000000001961
