Overview

Cross-sectional analysis reveals links between immune markers, iron levels, and anemia in HIV patients, suggesting the need for better care integration.

Key Points

  • The prevalence of iron deficiency anemia reached 65.4% among non-adherent HIV adults, highlighting a significant public health issue.
  • Logistic regression identified unsuppressed viral load as a critical predictor of iron deficiency anemia, with AOR values indicating a strong association.
  • Lower hemoglobin concentrations and elevated transferrin levels were observed in non-adherent and ART-naïve groups compared to healthy controls.
  • Integrating monitoring of viral suppression and iron biomarkers in HIV care may improve management strategies for anemia.
