Reflecting on #AIDS2026, where Dr. @fxkasujja shared findings from INTE-COMM trial showing that community-based integrated care can effectively manage HIV, diabetes and hypertension without compromising HIV outcomes.
In a poster presentation, he highlighted how co-occurring mental health and psychosocial challenges reduce ART adherence and worsen HIV outcomes, reinforcing the need to integrate mental health into routine HIV care.
Strong findings that highlight the value of integrated, person-centred approaches to improving outcomes for people living with HIV and other chronic conditions.

@AustinBr_ian Another Toyota from that era that can hold its own against the ST190 is the first-generation RAV4. Many of them are still running reliably more than 30 years later.
Are health facilities enough to handle Uganda’s growing burden of chronic diseases?
