Key populations, including people who inject drugs (PWID), men have sex with (MSM), and female workers (FSW), are disproportionately affected by the HIV epidemic. Understanding magnitude of, informing public health response to, epidemic among these populations requires accurate size estimates. However, low social visibility poses challenges to efforts.The objective of this study was derive population estimates PWID, MSM, FSW in Kampala using capture-recapture.Between June October 2017,...
Background We investigated progress towards UNAIDS 90-90-90 targets among female sex workers in Kampala, Uganda, who bear a disproportionate burden of HIV. Methods Between April and December 2012, 1,487 workers, defined as women, 15–49 years, residing greater selling for money the last 6 months, were recruited using respondent-driven sampling. Venous blood was collected HIV viral load testing [viral suppression (VLS) <1,000 copies/mL]. data audio computer-assisted self-interviews calculated...
Background: Key populations at higher risk for HIV infection, including people who inject drugs, men have sex with (MSM), and female workers (FSWs), are disproportionately affected by the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Empirical estimates of their population sizes necessary program planning monitoring. Such estimates, however, lacking most Uganda’s urban centers.
In sub-Saharan Africa, men who have sex with (MSM) are socially, largely hidden and face disproportionate risk for HIV infection. Attention to epidemics among MSM in Uganda elsewhere Africa has been obscured by repressive governmental policies, criminalisation, stigma the lack of basic epidemiological data describing these epidemics. this paper, we aim explore healthcare access, experiences prevention services structural barriers using order inform acceptability a combination package Uganda....

We 718 men (mean...
Background: Although Africa has long borne the brunt of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) epidemic, until recently, continent been considered largely free illicit drug use and injection in particular. In Uganda, number people who or inject drugs (PWUD PWID, respectively) increased, PWID are a key population at high risk for hepatitis C (HCV) infection. However, harm reduction practices, including providing clean equipment medication-assisted treatment (MAT), have only recently piloted...
