The prevalence of virological treatment failure was 18.4% (95% CI: 15.4 -21.4) and the prevalence of immunological treatment failure was 15% (95% CI: 11.8-18.4). WHO clinical stage III/IV and non-adherence were independent predictors of virological ART treatment failure. Early management of clinical WHO stages and improving patients' ART regimen adherence are important to decrease the prevalence of ART regimen treatment failure.
