The World Health Organization recommends that children should be informed of their HIV status at age 6-12 years. However, disclosure of HIV status among children is very low in resource-limited areas, particularly in Ethiopia. So, the aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of disclosure and associated factors among a cohort of HIV-infected children in southwest Ethiopia.
