In December 2018, a static exhibition titled “Affected or Infected: A History of HIV in Uganda” opened to the public at the Uganda National Museum. This exhibition was created after a series of stakeholder meetings that brought together key persons involved in the AIDS response over the last 30 years. These provided in-depth knowledge of the early days and the progress of the response to guide in planning for this exhibition.
Several organizations were visited during this process. These included; UNAIDS, JCRC, MildMay, MRC, Straight talk Uganda, UHMG,
THETA and others. The exhibition had different themes to help create an interactive environment: Unknown, knowing, believing, caring, remembering, surviving, testing, treating and advocacy.
On World AIDS Day, the exhibition opened to the public and was visited by different groups of people ranging from secondary students, university students, out of school youth groups, mobile men with money (including boda boda riders) sex workers. The meeting highlighted key aspects in regard to implementation of Visualising HIV: An exhibition of past, present and future in Uganda” project.
