Incidence of Hepatotoxicity and Factors Associated During Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy in People Living with HIV in Ethiopia: A Prospective Cohort Study

Abstract

High incidence of mild-to-moderate hepatotoxicity and low severe hepatotoxicity were observed in HIV-infected individuals who were on HAART or were HAART naïve. HAART may minimize the occurrence of hepatotoxicity. Although HAART could minimize hepatotoxicity among HIV-infected people, to manage mild and moderate hepatotoxicity liver function test monitoring is required.
