More than two-thirds of clients newly diagnosed with HIV in Apac District, northern Uganda adhered to their second clinic visit. HIV/AIDS service providers should strengthen HIV pre/post-test counselling, social support systems for persons living with HIV/AIDS, and reduce clients' waiting time to improve adherence to second clinic visit among clients newly diagnosed with HIV.
