    <description descriptionType="Abstract">&lt;p&gt;Background: HIV/AIDS is a lifelong disease and the treatment and follow-up of PLWHA over&lt;br&gt;
time requires daily administration of antiretroviral drugs as well as monitoring of clinical&lt;br&gt;
progression and lab results to prevent multi-drug resistance. Mobile phone technology has a&lt;br&gt;
potential to address many health challenges facing resource-poor countries including the&lt;br&gt;
barriers HIV patients encounter when accessing ART. The magnitude of mobile phone&lt;br&gt;
utilization and factors affecting utilization of mobile phone among patients attending ART&lt;br&gt;
clinic for health-care services particularly in management of HIV/AIDS patient clinical&lt;br&gt;
attendance, follow up and adherence is not well assessed in Ethiopia and Addis Ababa.&lt;br&gt;
Objective of the study: The overall objective of this study was to assess utilization of mobile&lt;br&gt;
phone and factors affecting utilization of mobile phone for HIV patients&amp;rsquo; clinical attendance&lt;br&gt;
and follow up at public hospitals in Addis Ababa&lt;/p&gt;</description>
