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