HIV/AIDS PREVENTION PROGRAMME

communities in Uganda. These are manifested in the high HIV/AIDS prevalence rates
and unattainable HIV/AIDS incidence, resulting from the generally high risk
consequence of unsafe sexual behavioral exposures which is mostly enhanced by
gender based violence. Slums and towns have continued to be a hub for irresponsible
behaviors especially fueled by some cultural and religious norms which fuel risky sexual
behaviors, Lack of information, poverty and adequate support on sexual reproductive
health and ignorance has greatly led to increased HIV/AIDS within our communities.
