Good Health for Women Project (GHWP)
The GHWP has set up primary and reproductive health care services in Kampala for women engaged in high risk sexual behavior and their regular male partners.
About the General Population Cohort (GPC)
One of the theme of the MRC/UVRI and LSHTM Uganda Research Unit in Uganda for the period 2017-2022 is research on the changing HIV epidemic targeting women at high risk for HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STI) because of their engagement in high risk sexual behavior such as paid sex and multiple sexual partnerships. In 2008 the Good Health for Women Project (GHWP) located in Kampala, Uganda recruited the first Ugandan cohort of women involved in high-risk sexual behaviour with the aim of studying the epidemiology and dynamics of the HIV epidemic, conducting research on STIs and offering a platform for basic science, social science and future HIV intervention studies in this population. The first phase of the project recruited 1027 high risk women who were followed up every three months for three years.
