Political commitment and partnerships with organisations and governments are key to implementing successful HIV/AIDS prevention programs, Ugandan Health Minister Jim Muhwezi said in an interview with the Washington Times. The Ugandan government in 1986 implemented the "ABC" HIV prevention model - Abstinence, Be faithful, use Condoms - which has helped the country lower its HIV prevalence rate. According to a recent study published in the journal Science, the country's HIV prevalence has dropped 70% since the early 1990s.
