RESULTS: ) (AHR, 1.52, 95% CI 1.01-2.28), jobless (AHR, 2.22, 95% CI 1.2-4.11), substance abuser (AHR, 1.84 95% CI 1.19-2.86), having sub-optimal adherence (fair/poor) (AHR 6.33, 95% CI (3.90-10.26)), not receiving isoniazid prophylaxis (AHR 2.47, 95% CI (1.36-4.48)), ambulatory functional status (AHR 1.94, 95% CI (1.23-3.06)), having opportunistic infections (AHR, 1.74 95% CI 1.11-2.72), having CD4 count 201-349 cells/µL (AHR 0.58, 95% CI (0.38-0.88)) were found to be significant predictors of lost to follow up from ART service.
