当財団の助成についてAllow me express my sincere thanks to the Kyoto University Foundation for financing
my research in Uganda. It would not be possible without your support. Thank you verymuch.

Research findings:
I conducted a study to learn the factors on HIV status disclosure of HIV positive people
receiving HIV/AIDS care and treatment at TASO Mulago, Uganda. The initial research period
reduced from a time frame of two months to one month because of the following reason(s);1. Given the fact that HIV/AIDS as a topic is very sensitive, when planning for this researchstudy, I assumed that I will need for time in the field during data collection process, tobuild trust with the participants in order to get their consent to participate in theinterviews. Therefore, I estimated the period of two months will be necessary to achieve
the study objectives. However, while in the field, participants were very collaborative andwere willing to participate in the interviews and this shortened the time of data collectionin the field from two months to a period of one month.
Given the above, the actual research was conducted, from August 17th to September 9th. The
setting was at TASO Mulago, Uganda where the target population was between the ages of (18years old and 35 years old) both male and female receiving HIV treatment at the center. Using
purposive sampling, a total of 50 participants were recruited for the interviews. Among those, 10patients were recruited for pilot interviews to improve the development of semi-structured
questionnaires for actual interviews.
For the actual interviews, 30 patients were interviewed both males and females, 10 healthworkers working with HIV positive patients were also interviewed. According to previous
studies on disclosure, thematic saturation was expected to be reached with 15-20 participants(Gachanja et al., 2014 and Kidia et al., 2014). Just like these studies pointed, we were able toreach thematic saturation point after interviewing 20 patients. The primary findings of this study
show that;-There is a low HIV status disclosure rate among those aged 18 years and 20 years
There is a slightly high HIV status disclosure rate among those aged 21 years to 35 years
HIV status disclosure varies depending on the number of years spent under HIV/AIDS
care and treatment among HIV positive patients.
There is a very low, if not zero, awareness as regards the HIV/AIDS Criminal Law 2014
that was passed in the country.

In conclusion, because of the unexpected good cooperation of the patients, only one month
was needed to reach to the expected number of patients as well as to the thematic saturation thatis the real goal of this study.
