Ironically, progress was more dramatic 25 years ago when there was little funding. The UNAIDS boss, Dr. Peter Piot, said with every two people on treatment worldwide, five people were becoming infected with HIV daily.

First Lady Janet Museveni explained it this way: “In the late 1980s and the early 90s, there was a sense of urgency to stop AIDS and we had many volunteers.

“At that time, there were no financial rewards. Then money started coming in and we lost volunteers when we institutionalised recruitment.”
