Abstract
The African continent bears the greatest burden of HIV/AIDS in the world. Efforts by scientists to find a vaccine for curing the pandemic have proved futile to date. The prevalence in Uganda stands at 6.4%in Adults and 0.7 % in Children, and about 1.1 million Ugandans are living with HIV/AIDS. The AIDS Support Organization started in 1987. Non disclosure of HIV sero status affects uptake of HIV/AIDS health services, increases stigma and discrimination.
