Abstract
In Uganda, men and boys are diffi cult
to enrol in testing and treatment, and
have increased mortality compared
with women and girls. 5 Ad hoc HIV-
positive men’s groups reach out to other
men to increase testing and acceptance
of results. However, in our experience,
funders are unsupportive or unwilling
to provide assistance to male-targeted
interventions. Thus, male groups
lack the sophistication of the female-
focused eff orts and are unsustainable.
Men, whether we blame them for their
behaviours or not, represent a necessary
population to engage with.
