	abstract = "Summary Objective&#8194; <P></P>To identify correlates of self-reported antiretroviral therapies (ART) interruptions among people living with HIV and AIDS (PLWHA) in Cameroon. Methods&#8194; <P></P>Analyses were based on data collected in the national survey EVAL (ANRS 12-116) among 533 ART-treated PLWHA in Yaound&#233;, the capital city of Cameroon, and its neighbourhood. Logistic regression models were used to identify factors associated with self-reported ART interruptions longer than two consecutive days during the previous 4&#8201;weeks. Results&#8194; <P></P>ART interruptions were reported by 68 patients (12.8&#37;). After adjustment for gender, education and household income, characteristics independently associated with interruptions were pharmacy stock shortages [OR (95&#37;CI):3.25 (1.78-5.90)], binge drinking [2.87 (1.39-5.91)] and the number of self-reported slimming symptoms [1.23 (1.02-1.48)]. Conclusion&#8194; <P></P>In poor-resource settings where access to second and third-line regimens is still limited, food supply programs and interventions to minimise ART shortage may reduce the risk of ART interruptions.",
