Background: TB/HIV co-infection is a major public health problem in
many parts of the world. But the prevalence of co-infection was varies
among countries. This study was designed to assess prevalence of TB/HIV
co-infection and to determine its factors. Methods: A retrospective
study was done among HIV-positive patients at Hiwot Fana hospital from
December, 2014 to 2018. The study participants were selected by simple
random sampling. Patients with incomplete chart reviews were excluded
and demographic, clinical and laboratory information were analyzed
using SPSS and STATA. Uni-vitiate and bivariate logistic regressions
were applied. Results: Five hundred fourteen patients were enrolled in
this study. Of these, 187(37.4%) had TB. Bivariate logistic analysis
showed that HIV patients with regards to marital status[AOR = 2.6;
95%CI = 1.19- 2.89] , education status [AOR = 3.74; 95%CI =
2.47\u20135.66], weight less than 50kg [AOR = 2.54; 95% CI = 1.35
\u2013 4.81], CD4 level < 200cells/mm3 [AOR = 4.57; 95%CI =
2.38\u2013 6.86] and patient who were at WHO clinical stage III [AOR =
7.8; 95%CI = 5.15 \u2013 8.55] were significantly associated with
TB/HIV co-infection. Conclusion: The prevalence of TB among HIV
patients was high and predicted by marital, education status, weight,
CD4 cell count and WHO clinical stage III
