ABSTRACT
HIV/AIDS remains a critical public health issue in Uganda, characterized by significant regional disparities in prevalence and incidence rates. Despite substantial progress in the fight against HIV, understanding the current trends in HIV prevalence and incidence is essential for effective intervention and resource allocation. This review article aims to analyze the latest trends in HIV prevalence and incidence across different regions of Uganda, exploring the factors contributing to regional disparities and evaluating the country’s progress towards achieving national and global health targets. By synthesizing recent data, examining trends over time, and discussing the implications of these trends for public health strategies, this review provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of HIV in Uganda and offers insights for future policy and intervention efforts.
