News Briefs Uganda Integrates HIV/AIDS in Poverty EradicationOctober 29, 2002 Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni said Monday at the opening of the Third National AIDS Conference in Kampala that his government has integrated HIV/AIDS issues in its Poverty Eradication Action Plan. He said that the declining trends of the epidemic are a result of open campaigns and provision of correct information by all stakeholders, adding that the number of new infections, especially among youth, is falling because of their change in sexual behavior. Museveni informed the nation that the latest report from the Ministry of Health shows an average infection of about 6.4 percent in 2001 among pregnant mothers, while the infection rate in rural communities has stabilized at 4.2 percent for 2000 and 2001.
