Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is a virus that attacks the immune system. Globally, more than 79.3 million people have been infected with it and about 36.3 million people have died since the beginning of the epidemic. Ethiopia is one of the major affected countries in sub-Saharan Africa, with a huge number of people that are living with HIV. The identification of recent HIV-1 infection plays a crucial role in guiding prevention and control interventions. However, the magnitude and associated factors of recent HIV-1 infections at health facilities in the Harari region are not adequately investigated. |
