    Introduction: Antiretroviral therapy has led to a rapid decrease in HIV related morbidity and mortality. However, most of the existing antiretroviral regimens have been established to cause adverse drug reactions, this problem is especially common in poor countries in which only cheap, and toxic drugs are available.

Hence, there is a need to assess the prevalence of adverse drug reactions due to this antiretroviral regimen.
