"Some of the women get the disease during pregnancy and they don't know about it, so they end up producing a child with HIV.Some of them take the medicine when they want This makes the viral load very high, increasing the risk of transmission to the baby."

"Not every site has the capacity to do what we do in Mulago and Kawempe.Some mothers don't start treatment at the required time."

"HIV/AIDS is a global concern, not only an African problem."

"What we do in Uganda, and what affects people in Uganda, will eventually affect you, no matter where you live. If you have a long vision, you should be able to see this, but some people don’t."

"We can find a cure for HIV/AIDS. In Uganda, we are not short of brains, we are not short of ideas, we are just short of funding. We’re always limping. And it needs to stop."

"If you look at the group,we follow at MUJHU,3,000,the prevalence of mother -to-child transmission of HIV is at zero percent.None of them transmitted the virus to the baby.They are on treatment and are followed regularly (by our health workers).But the national prevalence is at around 5 percent."

In the CP group, females, and older children (10-18 years) had the highest relative risks of death in relation to the non-CP general population. Furthermore, in children with CP, there was an almost 7 times risk of death in those with severe motor impairments compared to those with milder ones."

"A blood test for detecting tuberculosis. Because once we find that, we can have a simple strip, better see if that blood test can detect the degree of tuberculosis organisms in your body, because that would be a game changer if we found it. We are working on it, we’re not yet there. But we have hope that one day it will be found."

"It looks like a small change, but it’s a big change. Who wants to take tablets for six months? Wouldn’t you rather take them for four months? But that is still not enough.

We say people in HIV care only started their work yesterday, but now, they are doing test and treat."

"HIV before the year 1996, we had no ARVs in Uganda. People were dying. Among the people who died was my cousin. She was brought to me in Mulago, I was a physician then. She had HIV, and she had severe pneumonia. We gave her all kinds of antibiotics, we gave her amoxicillin, etc. The girl didn’t survive. She passed on. A couple of years later, we discovered through work done in Uganda that this pneumonia the girl had, was due to an organism, now called PJP, and overtime as research was done in Uganda, we found or confirmed that a simple drug like Septrin could have saved my cousin."

"We started looking at HIV and TB interaction, and discovered some of the mechanisms of this interaction."
