The study aimed at assessing the evolution of body mass index of (BMI) and treatment outcome of Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) adult-patients who were on antiretroviral therapy (ART) over a period of one year in a community district hospital with high prevalence of HIV attendance. One year retrospective follow-up study of the recruited patients was carried out using data collected from their treatment cards. One hundred and fifty-one patients were recruited for the study but eleven patients dropped as a result of clinical emergencies and breach of study protocol. Ninety-two (66%) were females and the rest adult males. Study patients were on four different World Health Organization (WHO) clinical stages at various numerical strengths. There were significant (p>0.05) synchronized linear increment of BMI and positive treatment outcomes following treatment with antiretroviral therapy (ART).
