Webinar Recording: Sustaining PHE Activities in Kenya and Uganda Knowledge SUCCESS | May 2023 Following a stock-taking exercise that uncovered the successes, challenges, and opportunities to scale and sustain cross-sectoral programming from the HoPE-LVB youtube.com/watch?v=nlh9bO…
Behaviour change efforts— including age-appropriate sex education, and targeted HIV prevention campaigns- have not been widespread enough to reduce HIV infections as much as is needed. While intimate-partner violence, which helps to drive HIV, remains common.
—- for example, the criminalization of HIV transmission and same-sex activities. Abortion is only allowed to save a woman’s life.
HIV prevalence among sex workers is estimated to be as high as 35%, 14% among men who have sex with men and 23-35% among fishing communities. Various laws and policies continue to hamper HIV response and people’s access to sexual and reproductive health services—-
We can win AIDS war, AIDS-related deaths in Uganda fell from 51,000 in 2010 to 17,000 in 2021- three times fewer deaths. RCRA has a long term commitment on health promotion and community mobilization for HIV prevention , testing and linkages to treatment.
In 2019, Uganda made free #HIV self-testing kits available from public health facilities, and to buy in drug shops of all sizes, RCRA has been successful reaching remote communities with HIV test services together with #familyplanning with support from @chaseafricaphe
— particularly for adolescent girls and young women; PEP; PrEP access; management of sexually transmitted infections, including partner infections; a full range of prevention services for young people, particularly #adolescent girls and young women(AGYW), test and treat services
Our HIV prevention in Rwenzori region focuses on: prevention of mother-to- child transmission; voluntary medical male circumcision; social and behavior change communications; male and female condoms promoting and distributing; addressing gender-based violence,
As of 2021: In Uganda, 1.4 million people were living with HIV, 5.2% adult HIV prevalence, 54,000 new HIV infections, 17,000 AIDS-related deaths, and 1.2 million people on antiretroviral treatment
With U=U goal has been a cornerstone for reducing new HIV infections. We believe have all patients on treatment is very useful and key to curbing spread of HIV
Since inception in 2010, we have been promoting interventions to prevent spread of HIV including testing and creation of connection of patients to free treatment, we follow up on clients for adherence on treatment to achieve viral load suppression.
Congratulations! Our Board of Directors Chairperson @DrOlaroCharles upon your appointment as Chancellor of Fins Medical University. We're so very proud of you!

We have seen alarming numbers of pregnancies among 10 to 19-year olds in Kenya and Uganda. With your support, we can continue to raise awareness so that girls and adolescents learn and exercise their sexual and reproductive health and rights. #DayOfTheGirl
"I am very grateful for learning about family planning, otherwise I would have seven or eight children and wouldn’t have come this far. Life could have been so hard. I think if two or three children is still a challenge, what would it be like having seven or eight children?"
