Description

Two decades of HIV/AIDS in Uganda, the epidemic has entered the mature stage that presents enormous challenges of coping with the devastating social and economic impact in addition to the high HIV prevalence rates. The sickness and deaths of productive Ugandans has created a dent in all development efforts at household, community and national levels and is burden on the rejuvenating health and social infrastructures.
