| dc.description.abstract | The aim of this study is to examine the resilience level, risk behavior and protective factors of HIV positive adolescents who are a member of the Mekdim Ethiopia National Association at Arada Sub city Woreda 6. Participants of this study were 100 HIV positive adolescents (52 males and 48 females) who are benefiting from Mekdim Ethiopia National Association at Arada sub city Woreda 6. Data collected through questionnaire, Connor Davidson Resilience Scale (CD- RISC), Risky Behavior Rating scale (PWC) and developed protective factor and biographical form. Data analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistical methods. Descriptive statistics (percent, Mean and SD) and inferential statistics such as ANOVA and t- test were employed to uncover the associations among the variables considered. The results revealed that level of Resilience of HIV positive adolescents who are a member of Mekdim Ethiopia National Association is considered to be low. HIV positive adolescents who are a member of Mekdim Ethiopia National Association are at risk of participating in activities which are great impact on their health status. The major protective factors of HIV positive adolescents were spirituality, living with their parents or guardians and have good performance in their educational status. The result reviled that there is no statically significant difference among HIV positive male and female adolescents. Low resilient level adolescents use potentially high risky behaviors such as chewing chat, smoking in high proportion as a coping mechanism.
