In Uganda, about 2.1% of young people aged 15–24 are living with HIV. Every year, thousands of new infections still occur. Young people are not just the future, we are the present. Be informed and get tested.

[Trans Youth Initiative Uganda (TYI-Uganda) @UgandaTrans]

Last week, we made history. TYI-Uganda, in collaboration with @transforumug and @UKPC_UG hosted THE STATE OF TRANS SRHR IN UGANDA 2026, the first national conference in Uganda to address trans health across HIV, TB, malaria, and SRHR. 4–5 March | Kampala
Trans and gender-diverse people from all four regions of Uganda came together to document health barriers, share what’s working, and build consensus on what we need from the health system. Our evidence. Our voices. Our asks.

On Day 2, we presented our findings directly to UNAIDS, Ministry of Health program leads, TASO Uganda, HRAPF, and development partners.

For the first time, trans and gender-diverse communities sat at the table with the program leaders and spoke with one voice.

What we produced:

• The first community-generated evidence base on trans health in Uganda
• Regional findings from Central, Western, Eastern, and Northern Uganda
• Priority recommendations to MoH across HIV, TB, malaria, and SRHR
• A Community Position Paper (coming soon)

There is no disaggregated data on trans health in Uganda. Not in HIV, not in TB, and not in malaria.That changes now.

Thank you to our partners: @UKPC_UG @hrapf_uganda, Ark Wellness Hub, Ice Breakers Uganda, Alive Medical Services,UHAI-EASHRI, LINK Partners, and every trans and gender-diverse institution that showed up.

And to every trans and gender-diverse person who shared their story, you are the reason this exists. This is not the end; it is the beginning. Follow-up is in progress. The Community Position Paper will be released within four weeks. Accountability reviews will occur at 1, 3, and 6 months.

This work is implemented under the Gender Equality Fund, an initiative established by The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria in partnership with GSK and ViiVHealthcare to support gender-transformative and community-led health responses.

Nothing about us, without us.

[Brian 🏳️‍🌈 @AyoBrayo]

When prevention innovation reaches headlines before it reaches clinics, protection can quietly decline.

Recently, while reviewing our service data at @ArkWellnessHub found myself asking questions about a drop in PrEP refills and enrolment. Was this pill fatigue? Reduced access to prevention commodities following HIV program funding cuts? That seemed plausible especially since we invest heavily in digital PrEP education, deploy online tools, and ensure that everyone who walks through our doors understands their prevention options.

But something else became clear.

We have talked loudly and often about injectable PrEP. We’ve celebrated it in conferences, headlines, research updates, and policy conversations. Yet for most people who need it, it is still not accessible.

During a staff meeting, I got informed that the team team is receiving increasing calls, messages, and walk-in inquiries about injectable PrEP. Clients in consultation rooms are saying they will start when the injectables arrive. They have seen the news. They have heard Uganda received doses. They know studies were conducted here. But on the ground, injectable PrEP remains largely invisible and unavailable.

A dangerous gap is emerging between promise and access and in its naivety, it is real, especially among young people. Expectations are shifting. Many are delaying starting daily pills and current users are not picking their refills. The risk perception is quietly dropping.

Injectable PrEP is framed as easier, and yes, it is. It is discreet and offers freedom from daily dosing. All true. But the behavioural effect is complex, just as we have seen before with reduced condom demand among many PrEP users.

Creating demand for PrEP among young people is uniquely challenging in our context because younger clients often prefer less daily responsibility, respond strongly to peer and media narratives, and have a lower tolerance for burden.

The structural factors still matter; funding cuts affecting supply chains, program scale-downs, stigma, access barriers, and commodity shortages. But the promise of injectable PrEP may be amplifying these challenges.

Our message remains clear:

DO NOT PAUSE PrEP! Continue protection until injectable options are truly accessible.

However, this has placed real pressure on service providers navigating hope, expectations, and reality. As we push for innovation, we must also manage expectations, communicate honestly, and ensure that hope does not unintentionally increase risk.

Frontline colleagues, as we work on messaging to counter the “oral PrEP pause” HAS THIS BEEN YOUR EXPERIENCE TOO?

Yesterday on #WorldAIDSDay2025 , together with @ArkWellnessHub Support and @CentreforWomen2 ,we conducted a community outreach in Kigungu landing site, Entebbe. We provided HIV testing, family planning services, condoms, and lubricants while raising awareness about #SRHR .

[Family Medical Point @FamilyMedicalP1]

Building partnerships, alongside strong mentorships and direct investment in #srhr service delivery, is crucial for addressing community issues. Today marks a step in this commitment as we proudly hosted @ArkWellnessHub at our facility to discuss our recently signed partnership.

The drug (pictured) is Antiretroviral medication, a drug combination approved for Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) by @MinofHealthUG & its partners. All drugs used in the prevention & treatment of HIV are Antiretroviral drugs (ARVs). Always speak to a doctor for proper guidance.

[LGBTQ+ Confessions East Africa @LGBTQ_Confesses]

Hello, Admin. I hope you're doing well. I recently visited Côte d'Ivoire and went to a clinic that supports the LGBTQ+ community to get tested for HIV. Thankfully, the result was negative.
The doctor then prescribed me a medication, but when I asked ChatGPT about it, I was told it is used to treat HIV, not as PrEP, which contradicts what the doctor said.

The doctor had explained that this is PrEP and instructed me to take two pills before sex, then one pill 24 hours later, and another 48 hours later, all at the same time each day. I would like to ask the community what this medication really is, as I'm unsure whether I should take it or not.

Community-led organizations are the backbone of the HIV response, providing access to HIV services for key populations, advocating for human rights and monitoring the HIV response.

However, community-led HIV services are now under threat due to the US funding cuts.
