In this study, the incidence rate of anaemia was significantly high. The development of anaemia among women on ART was also increased with increased follow-up time. The risk of anaemia is increased in women living with HIV/AIDS due to advanced baseline WHO staging, presence of OIs at baseline, an increased duration on ART and low occupational status. Therefore, early identification and treatment of opportunistic infections and other coinfections are required to decrease the incidence of anaemia among women living with HIV/AIDS.
