1 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

2 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

5 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
