Abstract

Abstract Objective - We performed an institution-based comparative cross-sectional study from August 1 to September 10, 2021, to compare the nutritional status and influencing factors among prisoners living with HIV/AIDS. A simple procedure for determining iron levels in blood using Hemo-cue methods was used to measure hemoglobin. Result - The overall prevalence of under nutrition among prisoners estimated as 33.8% (95% CI 28.8–39.3); and the prevalence of anaemia among PLHIV and negative sero-status residents was 54.2%, 50.8% respectively. The respondents who had anaemia were 3.26 times more likely to develop malnutrition AOR 3.269[95% CI 1.908-5.600]) than who had no anaemia.
