Study Examines Type 2 Diabetes Prevalence Among HIV Patients in Southeast Ethiopia

This study investigates the prevalence of type 2 diabetes and its associated factors among adult HIV-infected patients at Arsi University Teaching and Referral Hospital in Southeast Ethiopia. It highlights the growing concern of non-communicable diseases, such as diabetes, emerging alongside HIV due to prolonged use of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) and increased life expectancy among people living with HIV. The research underscores the importance of addressing chronic comorbidities in this population to reduce morbidity and mortality.
