| Abstract | IntroductionAccording to global monitoring and UNAIDS estimates. In Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries, the number of pregnant women living with HIV in 2020 was 1.2 million. A variety of studies revealed that people living with HIV desire reproduction in the absence of any ART administered to the mother; the rate of mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of HIV is 25–45%. Transmission and most child deaths related to HIV can be avoided with appropriate care during pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding. So far, there is limited information on the incidence of pregnancy outcomes and their predictors in Ethiopia. Therefore, this study aims to determine pregnancy incidence and associated factors among reproductive-age women living with HIV/AIDS who are on ART clinic follow-up in public health facilities of the Arsi Zone, central Ethiopia. MethodsAn institution-based retrospective cohort study was employed among 481 reproductive-age women from December 2013 to April 2019 in ART clinics of selected public health facilities in the Arsi Zone, Ethiopia. Systematic random sampling was used to select study subjects from each public health facility. Data were imported into Epidata version 3.2 and exported into Stata version 14.2 for analysis. The Cox proportional hazards model and Kaplan-Meier failure models were used to determine pregnancy predictors and estimate incidence, respectively. Independent predictors of pregnancy were determined by looking at variables that showed significant results (P value < 0.05) in the multivariate analysis. ResultsThe study included 481 women in total, yielding a response rate of 96.2%. The overall incidence of pregnancy was found to be 45.47 per 1000 person-years. Being 35 years of age or older (AHR: 0.29; 95% (0.13, 0.64)), being in a non-married couple (AHR: 0.14; 95% (0.04, 0.48)), being widowed or divorced (AHR: 0.20; 95% (0.05, 0.83)), and being a single mother (AHR: 0.42; 95% (0.19, 0.92)) were predictive factors of pregnancy incidence among women on ART. |

| Description | The study was aimed to assess the incidence, outcomes, and determinants of pregnancy among women living with HIV. The dependent variables were pregnancy incidence and pregnancy outcome, while the independent variables included women's age, education level, and marital status. An institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted on 500 women, with data extracted from client records between July 2019 and June 2020. The study covered ART follow-up cases from 2012 to 2017. Data were managed using EPI Info and analyzed in SPSS version 21. |
