AIDS in Uganda


With a high rate of Uganda AIDS, this is something that no traveller should take lightly when travelling in Uganda. While the risk to visitors is not severe if you follow precautions, be advised that the general lack of healthcare standards in the country could pose a risk if you need to go to a hospital for even a minor injury – stay safe and try to prevent the need to be hospitalised.

Uganda HIV & AIDS


Uganda HIV & AIDS is a shocking reality on your Overlanding Africa.com. A huge number of people in Uganda die from AIDS each year, and a number of children are orphaned from this deadly virus too. Follow basic precautions at all times, such as the following:

•    Do not ever have unprotected sex
•    Avoid swapping needles or other instruments
•    Do not get tattoos during your travels
