This document is not intended to provide a definitive explanation for Uganda’s AIDS prevention successes during the 1980s and 1990s. Rather it is a synthesis of presentations made in February 2002 at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) by four individuals with long-term experience in HIV prevention in Africa. USAID’s Office of HIV/AIDS decided to commission a summary document synthesizing the ideas presented by these researchers. The following pages do not include all the various statistical and other details that were presented; however it is hoped that the main points described here provide some insight into how Uganda has managed to control its HIV epidemic during the past 15 years.
