During the activity, Claire Murungi, ROM\u2019s Biomedical Prevention Technical Officer, noted that despite all the efforts in HIV prevention, Uganda still records more than 50,000 new infections every year, commending the team for embracing screening and awareness of individual status.<\/p><p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-15603 \" src=\"https:\/\/www.reachoutmbuya.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image5-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"673\" height=\"505\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.reachoutmbuya.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image5-1.jpeg 1120w, https:\/\/www.reachoutmbuya.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image5-1-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.reachoutmbuya.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image5-1-1024x768.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.reachoutmbuya.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image5-1-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.reachoutmbuya.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/image5-1-600x450.jpeg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 673px) 100vw, 673px\" \/>\u00a0<\/p><div><p>Claire Murungi speaking at the health camp.<\/p><p>Activities like this remind us that taking services closer to communities is key and we must continue to strengthen prevention efforts, expand access to testing plus ensure no one is left behind.
