Back ground: ART significantly increases the life expectancy of HIV positive people by
improving physical health and the quality of life, which may enable or encourage individuals
to resume sexual activity. Growing number of people living longer with HIV forms a potential
source of infection to sexually transmitted infections, including other strains of HIV, and place
others at risk for HIV infection unless they consistently practice safer sexual behaviors. Very
few study conducted in Southern Ethiopia on unprotected sexual practices of HIV positive
people on ART. So, this study will supplement the scarcity of data on risky sexual behavior in
the region.
Objectives: To assess the magnitude of unprotected sexual practices and associated factors
among adult people living with HIV on ART in public hospitals of Kembata Tembaro zone,
Southern Ethiopia, from March, 1 to March, 30/2016.
Methods: An institutional based cross sectional study was conducted to gather information on
sexual behavior of 535 adult HIV positive people on ART in Kembata Tembaro zone public
Hospitals. Data were collected by face to face interview using pre tested questionnaire.
Frequencies, proportion, and summary statistics were used to describe the study population in
relation to relevant variables and presented in tables. Data were entered using Epi-Data version
3.1 and exported to SPSS version 16 for analysis. Binary logistic regression was used to predict
variables which have independent association with outcome variable.
Result: The findings of this study showed that 40.9% of respondents were practiced unprotected
sexual intercourse. Unprotected sex was significantly associated with being females (AOR:
1.944, 95% CI: 1.944(1.228, 3.078)), more than one sexual partners (AOR: 2.318, 95%CI:
(1.328, 4.045)), average monthly income of <530 Ethiopian birr per month (AOR: 1.867,
95%CI: (1.206, 2.889)), those who had a sero-positive partner (AOR = 3.249, 95% CI: (1.762,
5.989)) or a partner of unknown sero-status (AOR = 5.040, 95% CI: (0.710, 35.792)) and
respondents who had no sufficient knowledge on HIV transmission and prevention (AOR:
2.369, 95%CI: (1.094,5.128)) were more likely practiced unprotected sex.
Conclusion: Respondents who had insufficient knowledge on HIV transmission, negative
attitude towards condom use, non disclosure status and more than one sexual partnerships were
more likely to have unprotected sex. The result showed, the need for behavioral change health
education and counseling that should be strengthened and address the need of each individual.

Background:In Ethiopia breast cancer contributes around 33% of female cancer and there is still
a significant difference in magnitude of mortality and morbidity in developing countries. But,
there is little information on the magnitude and progress of female breast cancer in Ethiopia.
Objectives: To assess treatment outcome and factors associated with treatment outcomes of
female breast cancer among patients treated at the cancer treatment center at HiwotFana
Specialized University Hospital, Eastern Ethiopia, from January 1, 2020, to December 31, 2022.
Methods:Hospital-based retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted on the total of 295
female breast cancer patients. Data were collected from patient files including oncology ward
logbook, major Operation Room logbooks and integrated individual patient folders from medical
record.Allwomen diagnosed with breast cancer and started treatments at cancer treatment center
from January 1, 2020 to December 31 were included. Candidate variables were included into
logistic regression using stepwise backward elimination criteria(p-value< 0.2). Adjusted odds
ratio with 95%CI was used to report effect of covariates and p-value <0.05 was used as cut off
point for significance of the associations.
Result: from the studied patients with breast cancer 85.1% were present with Histologic types
ofInvasive ductalbreast carcinoma, 42.4% were stage IV breast cancer, and47.46% patients had
metastasized.Overall mortality rate was 40 per 100 women with breast cancer diagnosed during
study period. Mortality was higher among women with unknown receptor status (AOR:5.75;
95%CI:1.61, 20.53) and lower amongM0 stage tumor (AOR:0.03; 95%CI:0.01, 0.07) and who
received combination of treatments (AOR: 0.14; 95%CI: 0.03, 0.67).
Conclusion: The findings of this study revealedthat more than halfof thepatients with breast
cancers had metastasis at the time of presentation.Similarly, the mortality rate was higher and
associated with occupation, receptor status, and tumor size and treatment modalities.

2016-10-01T00:00:00ZMODERN CONTRACEPTIVE USE AND ASSOCIATED FACTORS AMONG MARRIED ADOLESCENTS IN GORO DISTRICT SOUTHWEST SHEWA ZONE, ETHIOPIAEBA (AlemayehuDr. Merga DheresaMr. Melake Demenahttp://ir.haramaya.edu.et//hru/handle/123456789/76772024-03-25T06:10:28Z2023-10-01T00:00:00ZMODERN CONTRACEPTIVE USE AND ASSOCIATED FACTORS AMONG MARRIED ADOLESCENTS IN GORO DISTRICT SOUTHWEST SHEWA ZONE, ETHIOPIA
EBA (Alemayehu; Dr. Merga Dheresa; Mr. Melake Demena
Background: Modern contraceptives are a key intervention to improve the health of both the mother and children by preventing unintended pregnancy. Despite low use of modern contraceptive and its consequence among married adolescent girls in Ethiopia, the studies conducted on prevalence and associated factors of modern contraceptive use among married adolescent girls were limited. No study was conducted on the prevalence and associated factors of modern contraceptive use in the study area. Thus, this study aimed to assess family planning utilization and associated factors among married adolescents.
Objective: The study aimed to assess prevalence of modern contraceptive use and its associated factors among married adolescents in Goro district, southwest Shewa zone, Oromia, Ethiopia, from March 15 - 30, 2023.
Method: A community based cross-sectional study design was employed among randomly selected 421 married adolescents in Goro district. Data was collected using a structured interviewer administered pretested questionnaire. Descriptive statistics was done to characterize the study population using different variables. Binary and multi-variable logistic regression models used to determine factors associated.
Result: A total of 414 married adolescents were involved, making a response rate of 98.3%. The prevalence of modern contraceptive use among married adolescents in the study area was 126 (30.4%) (95%CI: 25.8%, 34.5%). Desire to have a child after two years (AOR=5.45, 95%CI: 1.43, 20.73), husband support to use contraceptive methods (AOR=3.20, 95%CI: 1.65, 6.23) and receiving advice on family planning during health facility visit in the last 12 months (AOR=7.03, 95%CI: 3.19, 15.53) were significantly associated with modern contraceptive use.
Conclusion: This study revealed that the prevalence of modern contraceptive use among married adolescents in the study area was relatively lower. The factors that were significantly associated with modern contraceptive use among married adolescents were desired to have child after 2 years, having husband support to use contraceptive methods and receiving advice on family planning during health facility visit in the last 12 months. Therefore, it is important to focus on these factors to increase modern contraceptive use among married adolescents
