Description
Jamaal Ibrahim, Sahardiid Abdilahi, and Mohamed Osman measure anemia among people with HIV in Jigjiga, Ethiopia, in this 2026 paper. Anemia, a lack of healthy red blood cells, drains energy and shortens life for people on HIV treatment. Their clinic-based study covered 392 patients on antiretroviral therapy at public facilities, surveyed over one month in 2023 with blood tests and a set questionnaire.
Close to four in ten patients had anemia, and nearly all of those cases sat in the moderate band. Being female, carrying another infection on top of HIV, and eating a narrow range of foods each raised the odds clearly. The authors call anemia a moderate public health problem at these sites and urge targeted help for women, faster treatment of extra infections, and food advice for patients with poor diets.
