User:Kevinkor2/AIDs in Uganda (raw figures)

2002
From :


 * The Ministry of Health also estimated the national HIV prevalence rate (pooled antenatal figures) at an average of 6.2% of the total Ugandan population by end of 2002 while new infections were estimated at 70,170 cases, new AIDS cases at 73,830 and AIDS deaths at 75,290 in 2002 alone.

2005
From :


 * International attention has been drawn to the ‘recent’ reversal of Uganda’s prevention success. Sub-national longitudinal studies and indirect estimates indicate a rising rate of new infections with HIV incidence ranging from 0.2-2.0% in different regions of the country. The annual incidence reached 132,500 new cases in 2005. This includes 25,000 mother-to-child transmissions.

2008
From :

As per the last Uganda HIV&AIDS Sero-Behavioral Survey--UHSBS (2004/05), the country has a generalized HIV epidemic with a prevalence of 6.4% in adults and 0.7% in children.(Uganda AIDS Commission (June 2009), National HIV&AIDS Stakeholders & Services Mapping Report) Therefore, approximately 1.1 million people in Uganda are HIV-infected(Ministry of Health, Kampala, ORC Macro.Uganda HIV&AIDS Sero-Behaviural Survey 2004-5. Calverton, Maryland) in a total country population of 30 million. The incidence rate by far outstrips AIDS related mortality and the numbers of clients enrolling into chronic AIDS care. It has to be noted, however, that apart from the data from UHSBS (2004/05) and Uganda Demographic Health Survey—UDHS (2006), the country has no new published data. What is, however, clear is that the wave of new as well as old infection has shifted to older age groups(Kirungi W,Opio A, Musinguzi J, al, HIV Prevalence and Heterogeneity of risk in Uganda; Results of a National Representative-Based Serological and Sexual-Behavioul Survey. In Press, 2008) with both HIV incidence and prevalence in Uganda’s mature HIV epidemic having stopped declining around 2000 and hence remaining more or less stable.(Kirungi WL, et al, Sex Transm Infect 2006 Apr, 82 Suppl ;i36-i41) (Shafer LA, et al, Presented at the XVI International AIDS Conference, Toronto 13-18th August 2006 [Late Breaker[Abstract THLB0108]) Women, urban dwellers and residences of the post conflict northern Uganda region are more disproportionately affected.

Sexual transmission continues to contribute 76% of new HIV infections while mother to child transmission contributes 22%. Currently, estimates indicate that over 100,000 new infections occur annually (during 2008, an estimated 110,694 new HIV infections occurred countrywide and approximately 61,306 people died from AIDS related illness in 2008).(MoH 2009, The HIV/AIDS epidemiological Surveillance report, GoU/MoH/ACP, Kampala) There is evidence of trends of apparent reversals in uptake and practice of preventive sexual behavior in the general population, especially among adults and men.
