The Uganda Memory Project: mothers disclosing their HIV status to their children.

Abstract

Since 1992, the National Community of Women Living with HIV/AIDS in Uganda has been working to improve the quality of life of Ugandan women living with HIV/AIDS. HIV-positive mothers who were finding it difficult to tell their children about their HIV status started the so-called Memory Project, which tries to help HIV-positive parents give their children the support they need to survive with as little trauma as possible after the deaths of their parents.
