Summary
Uganda and Partner have done a commendable work in the country to reduce new HIV infections among adolescents and Key populations i.e. truck drivers, fisher folks, commercial sex workers, drug users and adolescents/young people. However, approximately 25% of new HIV infections are among members of the key populations and their partners. HIV prevalence triples from young people aged 15–19 years (1.1%) to those aged 20–24 years (3.3%) [7]. Yet, ever testing for HIV among young people is much lower in those aged 15–19 years (47.3%) compared to those aged 20-24years (84.4%). The project contributes to the reduction of New HIV infections among KPs and adolescents in Tororo and Busia Districts i.e. borders Uganda and Kenya by 2026 through enhancing awareness, utilization and access to HIV prevention services. This is a quarterly report for a period of July to October 2024. The report details on the summary, Project results in the quarter, implementation challenge, recommendations.
