Prevalence of genital high-risk human papillomavirus infections and associated factors among women living with human immunodeficiency virus in Uganda.

Background: Women living with HIV are at risk for cervical dysplasia and cancer worldwide. In 2015, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended that testing for high-risk HPV (hrHPV) infection be incorporated into cervical cancer screening programs using molecular nucleic acid tests (NATs) but this has not previously been done in Uganda. The country's coverage for Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) screening remains low at less than 10% for women aged 25-49 years.

Epidemiological and laboratory characterization of a yellow fever outbreak in northern Uganda, October 2010-January 2011.
