Healthcare worker training to improve quality of care for sexual and gender minority people in sub-Saharan Africa: learning from efforts in Uganda.
Alex S KeuroghlianAndrew MujugiraKenneth H MayerPublished in: Journal of the International AIDS Society (2021)
Numerous challenges exist to widespread culturally responsive HIV and sexual healthcare for SGM communities in sub-Saharan Africa. Lessons learned from healthcare worker training efforts in Uganda may inform future replication, adaptation and dissemination initiatives to meet the needs of more SGM communities in the region. Evaluation of SGM health training programmes to determine the impact on HIV virological suppression and sexual health outcomes will be critical for identifying best practices and strategies that may support advancing HIV epidemic control for SGM communities in Uganda and across sub-Saharan Africa.
