| Abstract | The HIV prevalence study was under the survey of the EPHIA conducted among the 19133 adult urban populations to estimate the incidence of HIV. The survey used a two-stage, stratified cluster sample design, in which census enumeration areas (EA) (clusters) were selected in the first stage and households in the second stage. The sample was stratified by nine regional states and two city administrations: Tigray, Afar, Amhara, Oromia, Ethiopian Somali, Benishangul Gumuz, SNNPR, Gambella, Harari, Addis Ababa, and Dire Dawa. Data collection was conducted from the beginning of October 2017 to the end of April 2018. EPHIA provided home-based testing and counseling (HBTC) with the return of results and point-of-care (POC) CD4 counts for those who were HIV positive. This study presents representative estimates of the prevalence of HIV infection among adults at the national and regional levels by selected demographic characteristics in urban areas of Ethiopia. It also presents estimates of the number of adults living with HIV in urban Ethiopia. HIV testing was conducted in each household using a serological rapid diagnostic testing algorithm based on Ethiopia’s national guidelines, with laboratory confirmation of seropositive samples using a supplemental assay. The prevalence of HIV infection among adults (ages 15-64 years) in Ethiopia was 3.0%: 4.1% among women and 1.9% among men. This corresponds to approximately 384,000 adults living with HIV in the urban areas of the country. The prevalence of HIV among women was significantly higher than among men in ages 25-29, 30-34, and 35-39 years. The HIV prevalence was the highest (14.7%) among widowed adults and the lowest (1.0%) among those who had never married—a group dominated by younger segments of the population. The burden of adult HIV infection varies across regions in urban areas of the country. HIV prevalence among adults ranged from 0.8% in Somali to 5.7% in Gambella. |

| Description | The HIV prevalence data set is a cross-sectional study conducted among the urban adult population in Ethiopia. The survey used a two-stage, stratified cluster sample design, in which census enumeration areas (EA) (clusters) were selected in the first stage and households in the second stage. The sample was stratified by nine regional states and two city administrations: Tigray, Afar, Amhara, Oromia, Ethiopian Somali, Benishangul Gumuz, SNNPR, Gambella, Harari, Addis Ababa, and Dire Dawa. The data collection was conducted from the beginning of October 2017 to the end of April 2018. EPHIA provided home-based testing and counseling (HBTC) with the return of results and point-of-care (POC) CD4 counts for those who were HIV positive. The study includes 19133 adults and 10529 households and all individuals tested for HIV and Knows their status. The prevalence of HIV was analyzed using the total HIV-tested adult population and the HIV-positive adults during the time of the data collection. |
