Project Description
People living with HIV in Uganda continue to face social and psychological challenges, including overlapping stigma, social isolation and loneliness, psychosocial health disorders, and substance use that impact their health outcomes. However, there is a scarcity of African-led behavioral and social science research (BSSR) scientists to address these challenges, necessitating continued efforts to build a critical mass of behavioral and social science researchers working in HIV. In collaboration with US partner institutions, this program will consolidate the capacity-building efforts of the past five years to expand the current scope of the BSSR program, increase scientific leadership, widen program reach, strengthen organizational capacity, and promote sustainable growth of BSSR in HIV at Makerere University.
