Systematic random sampling method was used, and a total sample size was 422 were determined. Data was entered using Epi data version 4.4 and analyzed by using SPSS version 25 statistical software. Variables which had a p-value ≤ 0.25 in bivariate analysis were considered as candidates for multivariable regression analysis and variables which had a p-value of ≤0.05 in the multivariable analysis were considered as statistically significant.Result: The overall magnitude of anemia was 33.5 %( 95%CI: 28.8, 38.1). Multivariable analysis showed that unable to read and write (AOR:4.3; 95%CI:1.56,11.96), AZT users(AOR:3.0;95%CI:1.73,5.36), CD4 count less than 200 cells/mm3 (AOR:3.6;95%CI:1.63,8.09) and history of opportunistic infection (AOR:4.3; 95%CI:2.43,7.68) were significantly associated with the occurrence of anemia.Conclusion: More than one third of study participants were anemic.
