ABSTRACT
Uganda has made significant strides in the fight against HIV/AIDS through the implementation of innovative treatment strategies and healthcare models. This review article examines recent advancements in antiretroviral therapy (ART) and novel healthcare models adopted in Uganda, evaluating their impact on patient outcomes and healthcare delivery. By analyzing the latest developments in ART, including new drug regimens and long-acting formulations, and exploring innovative healthcare models such as community-based care and task-shifting, this review aims to assess how these innovations contribute to improved HIV treatment and care in Uganda. This article evaluates these innovations’ impact on treatment outcomes and healthcare delivery, based on a comprehensive review of recent studies and programmatic reports. The findings highlight the effectiveness of these innovations in enhancing adherence, reducing transmission, and improving the overall quality of life for people living with HIV.
