The AWAMU HIV Awareness Campaign
Evaluating the acceptability of implementing an HIV self-testing mHealth mobile delivery program in collaboration with trained delivery agents in Kabale, Uganda
Current testing models require individuals to travel long distances to local healthcare centers to receive tests, but due to prohibitive costs, a shortage of health workers, and stigma that has discouraged travel to healthcare facilities, many at-risk individuals are unable to receive necessary testing.

New HIV infections in Uganda rose 21% between 2003-2013. Since 2014, Global Livingston Institute works with community partners to produce the "iKnow" Concert Series in rural Uganda. This annual, free concert series brings musicians/celebrities to stress that people can live long, healthy lives while being HIV-positive, aiming to decrease stigma.
Music as a vehicle for reducing HIV stigma and increasing fo testing in rural Uganda
Through working partnerships with community stakeholders, music was identified as a potential mechanism to deliver messages about sexual health and HIV given its cultural significance in rural communities throughout Uganda. We have hypothesized that an event-based HIV awareness and testing initiative can reduce stigma and increase the acceptability of testing in rural Uganda.
