    Evalyn Natukunda, Eva Natukunda et al.ARTICLEAIDS Care2026

    Falls result in adverse outcomes such as hospitalization, disability, and increased mortality among older people. There is a paucity of data on falls among older PLHIV in sub-Saharan Africa.

  • Preferences for long-acting injectable HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis service delivery among male and female sex workers in Uganda

    Open AccessRichard Muhindo, Rachel King et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2025

    In Sub-Saharan Africa, limited data exist on the delivery of injectable HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). We explored service delivery preferences for injectable cabotegravir (CAB-LA) among heterosexual male sex workers (MSWs) and female sex workers (FSWs) in Uganda. We conducted a discrete choice experiment (DCE) among HIV-negative sex workers in two high HIV-prevalence Ugandan cities between October and December 2024. Participants selected f…

By the end of July 2024, a total of 133,518 individuals had tested positive for the infection, resulting in 1,468 deaths and 132,039 had fully recovered. The success of COVID-19 elimination in Rwanda hinges on the public's level of acceptance of the COVID-19 vaccination. Although COVID-19 is no longer a pandemic anymore, the World Health Organisati…

  • I felt very small and embarrassed by the health care provider when I requested to be tested for syphilis”

    Open AccessRichard Muhindo, Andrew Mujugira et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    HIV programs are likely to be important entry points for syphilis testing among FSW. Multi-level interventions to address testing barriers should consider focusing on these service delivery points. Extending the dual syphilis and HIV testing approach to FSW may improve testing uptake for both infections at public health facilities and decrease population-level incidence

  • Predictors of couple HIV counseling and testing among adult residents of Bukomero sub-county, Kiboga district, rural Uganda

    Open AccessRichard Muhindo, Annet Patience Nakalega et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2015

    Uptake of HIV counseling and testing among couples was low. Discussing CHCT with partner, awareness of CHCT benefits, and availability of time to test as a couple were predictive of CHCT uptake. Thus CHCT campaigns should emphasize communication and discussion of HIV counseling and testing among partners
