Informing health decisions and actions
Description
Uganda has developed a National HIV Prevention Strategy to guide national efforts in the next phase of HIV prevention in the country in order to significantly reduce new HIV infections by about 30% by 2015. This, in line with the targets in the NDP would result in 40% reduction of the projected number of new infections in 2015, and avert about 200,000 new infections over five years. Virtual elimination of vertical infections is part of this overall goal.
