“…This higher mortality rate was similar with studies conducted in different Africa countries [5,7,[9][10][11][12][13]. The early deaths may reflect the late initiation of ART with the advanced clinical stage and severely compromised status of CD4 cell counts (<50 cells/ µl).…”

“…This finding is supported by other studies [5,7,10,12,14]. Consequently, it is unquestionable that ART should be started (initiated) as early as possible, prior to advanced clinical stages.…”

“…Early in the roll-out of life-saving ART, incidence rates of early mortality after ART in SSA ranged from 9% to 39% 2 and were significantly higher than in developed countries. 3 Risk factors for early mortality include low CD4 T-cell count (< 50 cells/μL) 4,5 with a combined hazard ratio (HR) across studies of 2.5 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.9-3.2). 4 Low body mass index (BMI < 18 kg/m 2 ) has also been associated with early mortality.…”

“…On the other hand, the relatively high role of homosexuality and the use of injectable drugs in the North in the transmission of the disease. In Senegal, Etard et al [17], found a sample of 404 patients on ARV with an average age of 37 years ± 6. Studies on the ARs of ARVs performed in Mali [14], Cotonou [18] and Iran [19] noted an average age of 35 years, 41 years and 36 years, respectively, with a female predominance.…”
