Abstract Nutritional status is considered a major diagnostic and prognostic indicator of HIV/AIDS in adults. In this aspect, current HIV-treatment guidelines, particularly in low-income countries, recommend the regular monitoring of body mass index (BMI) to determine patients' clinical response to antiretroviral therapy (ART). However, data regarding the change in BMI status of HIV-positive adults on ART following the implementation of the test and treat strategy were limited in Ethiopia. Hence, this study is aimed at investigating the trends of BMI change over time and its associated factors among HIV-positive adults in Northwest Ethiopia. A retrospective longitudinal study was conducted among 404 randomly selected HIV-positive adults receiving ART in Felegehiwot Comprehensive Specialized Hospital (FHCSH), Northern Ethiopia. Data were extracted from the medical record charts of study participants, entered into Epi-data 4.6 software, and exported to Stata 14.2 software for analysis.
