However, the mortality rate of patients treated with HAART is stili vel)' high in resource-constrained sellings. The study has reviewea patients' forms and ./ollow up cards of 491 patients treated with HAART in Dembi Dollo Hospitalfrom 2010-2012. The minimumfollow up time was 2 month and the maximum was 36 months. Kaplan-Meier survival curves and Log-Rank test were used to compare the survival experience of different groups of patients and proportional hazards Cox model was used /0 explore factors a./fecting survival of patients which directly linked with increased risk of mortality. The overall mean estimated survival time of patients was 33.8 mon/hs. Poverty is one of the most determinant factors a./fecting survivals of patien/s in study area. Moreover, laboratory and clinical factors are associated with increased risk of mortality. Fear of stigma is one of the barriers to uptake treatment persistently.
