Disclosure status of HIV-positive children and associated factors among children in public health facilities in East Arsi zone, Oromia regional state, South Eastern Ethiopia: A cross-sectional study.

The disclosure status of HIV-positive children was low in this study. Antiretroviral therapy follow-up for 6-15 years, children diagnosed at the appropriate age of ⩾12 years, children diagnosed at the age of <5 years, and children who aged below 11 years were positively associated with disclosure status. Thus, we recommended, health care providers and all stakeholders should give age-appropriate counseling regarding when and why to disclose their status.
