Article-Summary: 

Uganda was one of the first African countries to face the AIDS epidemic. Prevention programmes began in the late 1980s with strong political commitment. A study by the Medical Research Council Programme on AIDS in Uganda suggests that these efforts have produced a fall in HIV prevalence (the total number of people infected) and incidence (the number of people newly infected each year).
