Surveillance systems in Uganda detect
that HIV prevalence declined from 21.1 percent in 1991 to
6.4 percent in 2001. The most common explanations for this
decrease are that the population mobilized itself with the
consequence that more people were faithful to their
partners, or abstained from sexual contact, and used condoms
during sexual intercourse (Low-Beer et al 2003). Although
one might debate which of these behavior changes contributed
most to the apparent reduction in HIV prevalence, no one
would claim that Uganda can now become complacent about its
HIV/AIDS programs. Quite the contrary. National HIV/AIDS
Committees continue to have the responsibility for both
covering their populations with the highest quality
prevention, care, support, and treatment programs possible,
and to improve them constantly. |
