Willingness to Use Long-acting Injectable Pre-exposure Prophylaxis Among Key Populations at a Large Hiv Prevention Clinic in Kampala, Uganda: a Cross-sectional Study.

Background: Long-acting injectable (LAI)-PrEP provides better protection against HIV compared to oral PrEP, which requires taking a daily pill. Our study aimed to assess knowledge about oral and LAI-PrEP and identify factors associated with willingness to use LAI-PrEP among key populations (KP) in Uganda.

Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study at the Most at Risk Populations Initiative (MARPI) clinic between November and December 2021.

The burden of drug resistant tuberculosis in a predominantly nomadic population in Uganda: a mixed methods study.

Background: Emergence of drug resistant tuberculosis (DR-TB) has aggravated the tuberculosis (TB) public health burden worldwide and especially in low income settings. We present findings from a predominantly nomadic population in Karamoja, Uganda with a high-TB burden (3500 new cases annually) and sought to determine the prevalence, patterns, factors associated with DR-TB.

Methods: We used mixed methods of data collection.
