Uganda’s national Go Together, Know Together campaign addresses the recent increase in the HIV infection rate among married and cohabiting couples and the low rate of couples testing for HIV in Uganda. The campaign aims to empower married and cohabiting couples to assess their risk of HIV infection, test together for HIV, and adopt practices that improve their health. Secondary target audiences include HIV counseling and testing service providers and religious leaders.
The campaign began in September 2009 with a highly publicized and well-attended launch. Its activities include branded service delivery sites; trainings for health care providers on how to counsel couples; provider and client support materials; a hotline for testing and counseling; outdoor and print media; video and audio testimonials from tested couples; radio spots; and interactive radio programs. District Coordination Committees in the eight implementation districts meet regularly to assess Go Together, Know Together progress. The campaign is led by the Ministry of Health with service delivery support from the AIDS Information Centre (AIC) and technical assistance from Health Communication Partnership-Uganda (HCP).
