There is a likelihood that some mild ADRs may not have been reported by the patients nor found by the researchers due to their similarity with the symptoms and signs of HIV infection which further supports the low prevalence rate reported from the study.…”

Similarly, the proportion of ADR were higher at the rural on the studies conducted at Mali [ 8 ]. Even though studies were conducted in different setting in Ethiopia, residency was not significantly associated with ADR.…”
