Abstract:
Antiretroviral therapy has surely increased the life expectancy of people living with HIV.
However, long term complications like HIV associated sensory neuropathy has a negative
impact on quality of life among people living with HIV (PLHIV). In Ethiopia, lack of data on
magnitude of the burden and predictors of HIV associated sensory neuropathy in many
resource limited setting has led to under diagnosis and eventually under management of
HIV-SN. Hence, this study was set out to establish the burden of HIV-associated sensory
neuropathy and, its association with demographic, health and clinical characteristics among
people living with HIV in Ethiopia.
