This study aimed to explore perceptions of Uganda-based key decision-makers about the past, present and optimal future roles of FBOs in HIV/Aids work, including actions to promote or dissuade stigma and discrimination. Uganda's program continues to face challenges, including perceptions among the general population that HIV/Aids is a cause for secrecy. By virtue of their networks and influence, respondents believe that FBOs are well-positioned to contribute to breaking the silence about HIV/Aids, which undermines prevention, care and treatment efforts.
