Time to Immunologic Recovery and Its Determinant Factors Among Adult HIV Patients Who Initiated Antiretroviral Treatment at Hiwot Fana Specialized University Hospital, Harar, Ethiopia.

The median time to immunologic recovery was relatively shorter. Baseline functional status (ambulatory and bedridden), baseline CD4 count, and first-line treatment class were significant predictors of time to immunologic recovery. HIV patients with working functional status should be given the necessary attention. Utilization of dolutegravir-based regimens should be encouraged to attain a normal CD4 count earlier.
