It identifies people as criminals, slaves, or traitors to be shunned. Globally 30– 80% of people living with HIV experience stigma during their lifetime. There is a paucity of research in identifying determinants of stigma on HIV positive patients in Ethiopia. The aim of this study is to assess magnitude and factors associated with stigma among HIV positive adults attending antiretroviral therapy (ART) clinics at public health facilities of Butajira town.Methods: Institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted at public health facilities of Butajira town. A total of 403 study participants were selected by systematic random sampling technique. Data were collected by using pre-tested interviewer-administered semi-structured questionnaire. The collected data were entered into EpiData3.1 and exported to SPSS version 23. Bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analysis were used to identify factors associated with stigma. The strength of association was assessed by crude odds ratio and adjusted odds ratio for bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analysis, respectively. Statistical significance was declared at p-value < 0.05 and 95% CI.Results: The magnitude of stigma among HIV positive patient was 28.9%. Discussing about safer sex (AOR: 2; 95% CI: (1.14,3.18), disclosing HIV positive status (AOR: 6;95% CI: (2.3,14.9), being a female (AOR: 2.5; 95% CI: (1.41,4.12) and age > 34 years (AOR: 4; 95% CI: (1.46,12.9) were the independent factors associated with stigma in HIV positive patients.Conclusion: The magnitude of stigma in ART patient is still unresolved problem. Discussing about safer sex, disclosing HIV positive status, being a female and age were the independent factors associated with stigma in HIV positive patients.Keywords: stigma, associated factors, ART patientsMelis TFikadu YLemma LDove Medical Pressarticlestigmaassociated factors and art patientsImmunologic diseases.
