Survey Overview
A nation-wide household-based cross-sectional survey implemented by the Ministry of Health, Makerere University School of Public Health and Centres for Disease Control and Prevention. UPHIA 2024-2025 will assess the prevalence of key Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)-related health indicators such as incidence, prevalence, viral load suppression, and risk behaviors in a nationally representative sample, and describe uptake of key HIV prevention, care, and treatment services.
UPHIA 2024-2025 will also assess the prevalence of raised blood pressure, raised blood glucose and obesity, and describe facilitators of and barriers to viral load suppression among people living with HIV on ART in two selected regions. The survey will enrol approximately 6,000 randomly selected households in 173 enumeration areas across the entire country over a period of 4 months.

Primary Objectives
Estimate the national and regional prevalence of HIV viral load suppression (VLS – defined as HIV RNA <1000 copies/milliliter(mL) in adults ages 15 years or older in the general population.
Estimate the prevalence of HIV at the national and regional level.
Assess progress towards the UNAIDS 95-95-95 targets at the national and regional level.
Secondary Objectives
Estimate the HIV incidence at the national level.
Estimate the prevalence of HIV-related risk behaviors, knowledge, and attitudes.
Establish the behavioral and demographic determinants of HIV prevalence and incidence.
Determine the exposure to, uptake of and barriers to access to HIV-related services.
Estimate the prevalence of elevated blood pressure, elevated blood glucose and obesity among the general population and people living with HIV.
Assess the facilitators of and barriers to viral load suppression among people living with HIV in two regions with the lowest VLS, based on the UPHIA 2020-21 survey findings.
