HIV Support in Uganda by People Living with HIV

Living with HIV can be heavy, especially at the start, or when money is tight, or when you are tired of explaining yourself. Whatever you are facing, there are people in our networks living with HIV who have been there and want to help.

The SALT helpline (Supporting, Appreciating, Learning and Transferring) offers free counselling and peer support for people living with HIV and theirfamilies.

Call Helpline

Join a peer support group

Peer groups are led by people living with HIV: expert clients, mentor mothers, youth and women’s networks. You can share what is going on, ask questions and learn from others who understand it from the inside.

Staying on treatment

If you have missed a clinic visit or a refill, or you are finding it hard to get to the pharmacy, say so. Contact your health facility, or call our helpline and a peer can talk it through with you. You will not be judged for asking.

For young people living with HIV

Young people carry more stigma than most, and often feel it alone. The Network of Young People Living with HIV and our youth leaders run mentorship and support. Reach out and we will connect you.
