Learn about the scientific approach and step-by-step process that ensures accurate, representative data collection across Uganda
Using scientifically rigorous sampling methodology, households are randomly selected across all regions of Uganda to ensure national representativeness. The selection process follows a multi-stage cluster sampling design based on the Uganda National Population and Housing Census.
Before data collection begins, extensive community engagement activities are conducted to inform communities about the study, build trust, and ensure voluntary participation. Local leaders and health workers are briefed about the study objectives and procedures.
Trained field teams conduct structured interviews with eligible household members to collect demographic, socioeconomic, behavioral, and health-related information. All interviews are conducted using standardized questionnaires and follow strict quality assurance protocols.
Blood samples collected from consenting participants undergo comprehensive HIV testing in certified laboratories. Testing includes HIV status determination, viral load measurement for those HIV-positive, and additional biomarker analyses to provide comprehensive epidemiological data.
Participants receive their individual HIV test results through a confidential and supportive process. Those testing HIV-positive are linked to appropriate care and treatment services, while all participants receive counseling and health education materials.

Participating in UPHIA 2024-2025 provides immediate benefits to individuals and communities while contributing to Uganda's broader HIV response
Your participation will contribute to improving health systems, policies and programs to address the HIV epidemic in Uganda.
This survey also provides an opportunity to receive free and voluntary HIV and blood sugar testing in the privacy of your home if you are 15 years or older.
It is important to get tested and know your status. If you do test positive, receiving lifesaving antiretroviral treatment as early as possible will help you live a long and healthy life.
Your participation will also provide the Ministry of Health with valuable information on how effective HIV policies and programs are in your community and will inform national-level advancements.
Monitoring of blood pressure and blood sugar helps in making an early diagnosis of hypertension or diabetes mellitus, which is helpful in taking early corrective measures leading to better control of blood pressure and blood sugar levels.
