Uganda

The first Uganda Population-Based HIV Impact Assessment (UPHIA) was conducted between August 2016 and March 2017 to measure the status of Uganda’s national HIV response. UPHIA offered household-based HIV counseling and testing, with the return of results. The survey team visited over 12,000 households to collect this information.

In 2020, a second UPHIA was launched by the Ministry of Health to assess the country’s progress towards HIV epidemic control. The survey conducted over 10,000 household interviews. 

In 2021, the Uganda Refugee Population-based HIV Impact Assessment (RUPHIA 2021) was launched to estimate HIV prevalence, assess viral load suppression among HIV-positive individuals, and collect information on uptake of and access to HIV-related services among refugee populations. RUPHIA 2021 visited over 1,000 households.
