Similarly, multivariate logistic regression analysis confirmed that baseline CD4 cell count of 100–200 cells/mm3 (adjusted odds ratio (AOR) 1.80, 95% CI 1.05–3.06 and TDF based ART regimen (AOR 2.05, 95% CI 1.31–3.21) were significant predictors of anemia; and being educated was found to be protective (AOR 0.40, 95% CI 0.21–0.78) (Table 3). The gene discussed is CD4; the disease is anemia.
