This has contributed to a steady decline in HIV prevalence in Uganda since the mid-1990s.|This video depicts how the Ugandan people, civil society, organizations, political leaders, and government agencies have breached the wall of silence sorrounding the HIV epidemic, reduced HIV-Related stigma and denial, and so made HIV/AIDS and ?Open secret?.|Much still remains to be done in Uganda to cope with the impact of HIV and to curb its further spread.
