Uganda Virus Research Institute The contribution of HIV incidence and antiretroviral (ART) accessibility to HIV prevalence trends among adults in rural South West Uganda Jessica Nakiyingi-Miiro MRC/UVRI Uganda Research Unit on AIDS Date: 22 July 2014

Methods Annual census and socio-demographic data from approx 10,000 adults Annual health data and HIV serology until 2011, then biennial Free ART introduced in the area in 2004; 42% on ART by end of 2012. Background In the 1990s, HIV prevalence and incidence declined in Uganda; attributed primarily to a reduction in risky sexual behaviour. The latest Uganda sero-behavioural survey indicates that national HIV prevalence increased from 6.4% in 2004/05 to 7.3% in 2011. Study site Objective To obtain the association of HIV incidence trends and ART uptake with HIV prevalence trends using longitudinal data from rural Uganda

Discussion Recent increase in HIV prevalence may be due to: the increasing ART uptake; declining mortality among HIV-infected adults; and higher HIV prevalence among in/out-migrants Fig 5: Distribution of HIV positive cases
