The overall HIV positivity disclosure to children living with HIV was found to be low in contrast to the WHO standard. In other ways, it was comparable with the Ethiopian figures. Health workers and managers need to focus on strengthening child support, make known the maternal/caregivers' HIV status, and child age specific effective interventions to improve disclosure of HIV positivity status for children living with HIV for better ART adherence and treatment outcomes.
