This briefing paper is an abridged version of the KMCC knowledge synthesis document titled “Sex workers and HIV/AIDS in Uganda:
Synthesis of information and evidence to inform the response”. In preparing this briefing, the authors undertook a comprehensive literature review, and interviewed practitioners and experts who have worked with or studied HIV/AIDS among sex workers across Uganda and East Africa. The review of the evidence shows that there is an urgent need to upscale targeted HIV-prevention efforts to sex workers.
