Risk factors for HIV-1 infection and access to treatment among boys and men in Uganda
EF 2010-11
Résumé
Boys and men are likely to behave in risky ways that increase their likelihood of infection with HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases. We aim to understand what perceptions of risk place boys and men at an increased risk so that we can target interventions to reduce their risk taking behaviours. We intend to develop a cohort of HIV negative boys and men in Uganda and assess their perceptions of masculinity, quantify the extent of their risk taking behaviours, and then assess the likelihood of HIV seroconversion over the study period.
