dc.description.abstractAids was first recognised in Uganda in 1981, but because of the negative feelings and sensationalism that surrounded this subject, the Govt. of the day decided too bury its head in the sand like the proverbial Ostrich. A lot of time therefore lost between 1981 and 1986, when the recent government got into power. Our government has had no qualms about being frank to our people on issues of a National catastrophe such as the a Aids epidemic. When NRM (National Resistant Movement) came to power in 1986 the problem had already spread to most part of the country. The gates to national and international effort aimed at controlling the epidemic was opened. Unfortunately, our government's efforts and the high level of awareness among the population, the AlDs epidemic is becoming more and more serious in the place. However, this awareness has over the last few years started paying off I am informed that there has been a marked decline in the incidence o other STDs. AlDs has, however, hit hardest those who are not only in their most sexually active fears, but also in their most economically productive years. A number of professionals working in government and other institutions have died. This will affect production by small-holders, which accounts for over 90% of our country's export earnings. With regard to social services, AIDS is already affection our over-stretched medical services. Apart from looking after AlDs patients, secondary infections such as tuberculosis (TB) have increased because of AlDs. It is understood that already a two - to - three fold increase has been observed in our region, where dominant TB is common. Yet treatment for a single case of TB costs US $ 126. If you remember that the per capita health expenditure is US$ 3.50 in this region, you cansee the magnitude of the problem. In Uganda, over the six last years with the help of UNICEF, Uganda has managed to achieve over 90% immunisation coverage for the six Immunisable diseases, including TB, thus dramatically reducing the infant Mortality rate To make matters worse, I am afraid, however, that AlDs might reverse these achievementsen_US
