Poor adherence to antiretroviral therapy (OR 37; 95% CI: 6.67-205.10; p=0.000) and patients categorized as unstable (OR 8.11; 95% CI: 1.76-37.36: p-0.007) were the factors associated with immune-virological discordance in this study.<br/><br/>Conclusion: Immuno-virological discordance is high among HIV positive children below 15 years receiving care at Sengerema District Hospital.
