A warm welcome on behalf of the Board of Directors at UGANET. As the Chairperson of the Board, I am truly honored to welcome you to our official website, a one stop center for information relating to who we are and what we do.
The Uganda Network on Law, Ethics and HIV/AIDS (UGANET) was formed in 1995 after the recognition that the national response to HIV/AIDS in Uganda needed to recognize the importance of protecting human rights in preventing the spread of the HIV virus and in interventions for the care, treatment and support of persons living with and those affected by HIV/AIDS.
UGANET continues to bring together individuals and organizations that are interested in advocating for the development and strengthening of an appropriate policy and ethical response to HIV/AIDS in Uganda. Twenty eight years down the road, we have continued to be a flag bearer on human rights in the context of HIV/AIDS.
