The prevalence of anemia among rural HIV/AIDS outpatients of China was approximate 26.8%, Mild to moderate anemia is more common than severe anemia The frequency of macrocytic anemia is more than microcytic anemia and normocytic anemia The prevalence related factors was female sex, thrombocytopenia and CD4+T cell counts below 200 cells/μL. More attentions should be focused on those related factors and gave timely treatment.
