Infectious Diseases Institute Male Peer Recruiter - Nurse Jobs in Uganda

Background

The Infectious Diseases Institute (IDI) is a Ugandan not-for-profit organization whose
mission is to strengthen health systems in Africa, with strong emphasis on infectious
diseases, through research and capacity development. IDI has six operational areas through which it works to achieve its mission: Prevention, Care and Treatment; Training, Research, Laboratory services (including the CAP-certified IDI Core Lab & Translational Lab), Global Health Security and Health System Strengthening.

We are leveraging on an ongoing study of bone health with concurrent use of PrEP and
injectable DMPA (often known as Depo Provera® or depot medroxyprogesterone acetate),
we have opportunity to engage a new cohort of young men and objectively measure HIV and common STIs in these young men and link the results to women’s use of PrEP.

This study will provide a framework for understanding how and when young women and men decide to take PrEP, estimate the proportion of women that are benefitting from HIV protection when they have male partners with or at high risk of acquiring HIV, and provide a novel opportunity to engage young men in PrEP delivery and as supporters of women’s PrEP use.
