| dc.description.abstract | Background: Gestational weight gain (GWG) is increase in weight of pregnant women from conception to delivery. It is an important factor that supports optimal outcome for mothers and their infant. The risk of inadequate GWG among HIV positive women is higher as HIV increases both energy requirements and the risk of under nutrition. Nonetheless, comparative data on gestational weight gain and its determinants among HIV negatives and HIVpositives are scarce. Objective: The objective of this study was to assess and compare gestational weight gain and its associated factors among HIV positive and HIV negative women in Addis Ababa.2017 Methods: Institutional based comparative cross-sectional study wasemployed from April 2 – March 31, 2017 GC in Addis Ababa Ethiopia.558 study participants (372 HIV negative and 186 HIV positive women) were selected.Data was entered into Epi Data version 3.1 and exported to SPSS version 22 for analysis. Binary and multiple logistic regressions used to identify associated factors with the outcome variable. Texts, tables and graphs were used for descriptive statics. Results: overall 549 eligible women participated in the study making 98.4% response rate. The study finding reviled that the prevalence of GWG among HIV negative and HIV positive women is low (30.7% and 26% respectively). This difference has no statically significance in chi-square analysis. Factors associated with GWG among HIV negative women are family monthlyincome in USD [AOR=4.35,95% CI(1.75-10.7)],Knowledge of fruits are main food type [AOR=2.84,95% CI(1.5-7.6)], hours engaged in typical activity for less than two hours and for three to four hours in typical day [AOR=1.32, 95% CI (1.06-3.49)],[AOR=4.65, 95% CI (1.76- 12.29)] and early pregnancy BMI [AOR=13.9,CI 95% (4.26-45.87)] while women who had no formal education[AOR=3.16 95% CI=(1.25-8.86)] andwomen whose family monthly income was less than 50USD. [AOR=3.91, 95% CI=(1.02-15.2)] were the associated factors to GWG among HIV positive women. Conclusion and recommendations: The prevalence of adequate GWG among HIV negative and HIV positive women is low, the probability of adequate GWG among HIV positive women is much lower. Associated factors among the two groups are different with the exception of monthly income. So the two groups should be treated differently and different measures should be taken in order to increase the prevalence of adequate GWG according to IOM.
