HIV Seroprevalence, Incidence, and Viral Suppression Among Ugandan Males with Bar or Sex Worker Partners
Female bar or sex workers (FBSWs) in Eastern Africa experience a high burden of HIV, but population-level data on HIV seroprevalence, incidence, and viral suppression among their male partners are limited. We identified 2,420 men who had ever reported sex with FBSWs in the past year among 17,438 male participants through longitudinal population-based HIV surveillance in southern Uganda (2013-2020), spanning four surveys in four Lake Victoria fish…
Incidence and risk factors for tuberculosis at a rural HIV clinic in Uganda, 2012–2019; A retrospective cohort study
Incidence of TB among PLHIV on ART was low in this rural population. Clinicians offering care to people with HIV in the rural setting should have a heightened index of suspicion for TB disease
Use of mobile phones to collect data on Covid-19
During the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown, we deployed a rapid, mobile phone-based survey to assess access and participation rates when using mobile phones to collect data on COVID-19 in Rakai, south-central Uganda. We sampled prior Rakai Community Cohort Study (RCCS) participants based on HIV status using mobile phone contacts. We administered a 30-minute phone-based interview to consenting participants to assess their knowledge about different aspe…
Impact of a mHealth Intervention for Peer Health Workers on Aids Care in Rural Uganda

If circumcised men believe that they are protected from HIV there is a possibility that they will compensate for their perceived risk reduction by engaging in higher risk behaviours thereby mitigating any benefit of circumcision in preventing HIV infection. Some observational studies have shown that circumcised men engage in higher risk behaviours than uncircumcised men and the Orange Farm trial in South Africa found circumcised men to have sligh…
