The Aga Khan Development Network (AKDN) has announced a programme for increasing adherence to anti-retroviral (ARV) treatment as the government races to end HIV/Aids as a public health threat by 2030. Earlier this week, AKDN gave food commodities and bicycles to persons living with HIV/Aids. Ms Stella Kentutsi, the executive director of National Forum of People Living with HIV/Aids Networks Uganda (NAFOPHANU), while receiving the commodities, said Covid-19 induced poverty and shortage of food is still having enormous effects on their members. “The nutritional support comes in handy as persons living with HIV need to take their ARVs at the right time and dosage. Good adherence to medication boosts immunity to fight diseases including Covid-19,” she said.
