BACKGROUND: Training of health professionals can be deliberately structured to enhance rural recruitment by exposing the trainees to the realities of rural life and practice through Community-Based Education and Service (COBE) programs. Few studies have surveyed the alumni of these programs to establish their post-university views and whether the positive impact of COBE programs endures into the post-university life. This study surveyed the alumn…

Pregnancy decisions in women infected by HIV pose important public health and social problems, as they increase risk of both heterosexual and vertical HIV transmission. We sought to explore and gain deeper understanding of reasons why women conceive when they are HIV-positive. Through 22 in-depth interviews and 6 focus-group discussions, motivations for conception among HIV-positive women who came for delivery in Mulago Hospital, Uganda were expl…
Factors associated with conception among a sample of HIV-positive women at a hospital in Uganda

In a cross-sectional study, 385 HIV-positive women in the labour ward at Mulago Hospital, Uganda, were interviewed using a structured questionnaire. Data were collected on socio-demographic characteris…
