An essential step in helping to prevent the transmission of HIV is to be able to access testing and from that to know your status.

In the last few years, Hope Clinic Lukuli, Touch Namuwongo and our recent SMC Programme have, between them, provided HIV counselling and testing (HCT) to more than 70,000 adults in the Makindye division of Kampala.

From those tested, some 2,300 have been enrolled into treatment programmes and of those, 725 are currently receiving antiretroviral treatment (ART).
