Uganda has made strong progress against HIV. Testing, prevention and treatment are widely available.
Testing
Free testing at public health facilities, plus HIV self test kits at pharmacies.
PrEP
Pre exposure prophylaxis is daily medicine that greatly reduces the risk of HIV for people at higher risk.
PEP
Post exposure prophylaxis must start within 72 hours after possible exposure. Go to a health facility immediately.
Treatment
People living with HIV who take treatment and reach an undetectable viral load do not transmit HIV sexually.
Other prevention
Condoms, safe male circumcision and preventing mother to child transmission.
