The drop-in centre of the Uganda Harm Reduction Network (UHRN) looks lonely from the deserted suburban pavement. It is a non-descript house, hidden behind an imposing solid pink steel gate, in an equally non-descript neighbourhood.
It looks like so many other drop-in centres in eastern Africa that serve key populations anonymous and low-key. Necessary characteristics, perhaps, in a region that mostly criminalizes people who use drugs, gay men and other men who have sex with men, sex workers and transgender people.

The drop-in centre of the Uganda Harm Reduction Network (UHRN) looks lonely from the deserted suburban pavement. It is a non-descript house, hidden behind an imposing solid pink steel gate, in an equally non-descript neighbourhood.
It looks like so many other drop-in centres in eastern Africa that serve key populations-anonymous and low-key. Necessary characteristics, perhaps, in a region that mostly criminalizes people who use drugs, gay men and other men who have sex with men, sex workers and transgender people.
Once through the gate, visitors are greeted with a hive of activity that belies the quiet exterior. Clients and staff are buzzing around, setting up chairs under the makeshift gazebo in the verdant garden. In a few minutes, a group of people who use drugs will take part in a harm reduction workshop run by one of the centre’s staff. There is also a consulting room at the front of the drop-in centre; and at the back, is the office of Wamala Twaibu.

February 10, 2021 Winifred Ikilai
Winifred Ikilai, 29, a Ugandan HIV research activist advancing global efforts to end HIV/Aids, has won the Omololu Falobi Award for her excellence in HIV/Aids prevention research community advocacy.
The award is in honour of Omololu Falobi, a Nigerian journalist and HIV/Aids activist who passed on in 2006. She was honoured on February 4 last week via Zoom at the culmination of a weeklong HIV/Aids Research for Prevention (HIVR4P) virtual conference.
The conference was organized by International Aids Society (IAS) and it is the only global scientific conference dedicated exclusively to biomedical HIV/Aids prevention research.
