This book presents a history of AIDS control in Uganda, from the start of the epidemic in the early 1980s up until 2005. Uganda is well known internationally as an AIDS 'success story', both for its bringing down HIV incidence and prevalence over the 1990s, and for its innovative approach to scaling up the provision of antiretroviral therapy.
JOHN KINSMAN is Research Fellow at the University of Amsterdam's Centre for Global Health and Inequality, and Guest Senior Lecturer at the Umeå International School of Public Health in Sweden.
