Viral suppression rate at operation triple zero (Otz) and regular art follow-Up programs and associated factors among adolescent clients of Addis Ababa Ethiopia: a comparative cross-sectional study.

Background: - Viral suppression is the main goal of currently available treatment and it is used as a primary indicator of successful treatment for human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS). This ensures a reduction in AIDS-associated morbidity and mortality and decreases the risk of both vertical and horizontal viral transmission. This study aimed to investigate the magnitude of viral suppression and its associated factors among adolescents, comparing the operation triple zero (OTZ) program to regular antiretroviral therapy (ART) follow-up programs.

Determinants of pneumonia among under-five children in Oromia region, Ethiopia: unmatched case-control study.

Determinants of Mother-to-Child Transmission of HIV in Public Hospitals of West Shewa Zone, Central Ethiopia: Case-Control Study.

Background: Mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of human immune deficiency virus (HIV) is the infection of baby by HIV that originated from an HIV-positive mother during pregnancy and breast feeding. Without intervention, the transmission rate of HIV ranges from 15-45%, which can be reduced to below 5% with effective intervention. In Ethiopia, the final mother-to-child transmission rate was 15% in 2016, which was much higher than the target of the country to reduce transmission to lower than 5% by 2020.
