## Enkola y'emirimu
TASO yatandikibwaawo mu 1987 ekibinja ky’abasawo abaali balabye engeri abalwadde abalaga obubonero bw’obulwadde bwa Siriimu gyebaali  bajjanjabirwaamu obubi mu waadi z’eddwaliro ly’e Mulago mu Kampala. Mu kusooka, kyali kibinja kitono eky'abantu abaali basisinkana mu butongole okwogera ku siriimu n'akawuka akaleeta mukenenya : olupapula 33 era n’okukula okufuuka ekitongole. Kyafuuka ekimu ku bitongole ebikulu ebirabirira abalwadde ba siriimu n'abalina akawuka ka mukenenya mu Uganda.   TASO bwe yatandika, Uganda yali edda engulu okuva mu lutalo olwaleeta gavumenti eriwo mu buyinza kati. 

TASO yatandikibwawo okubudaabuda abalwadde abaali basosolwa ab'oluganda lwabwe, noluusi ne basuulibwa okufiira mu kibangirizi ky’eddwaliro.  :  olupapula ii  : empapula 32–33  Omuwendo gw’abantu abajja okubudaabudibwa mu kibinja kino ekitono bwe gweyongera, okubudaabudibwa kw'agenda kuwera okubudabudibwa kwafuuka kwa bwetaaze okukuuma abo abanoonya okubudaabudibwa.  : omuko ii  Mu 2008, TASO yali ekuze n’efuuka ekimu ku bitongole ebisinga obunene ekyatandikibwaawo mu Uganda, nga kiyamba n'okulabirira abalwadde ba siriimu n'abalinwa akawuka akaleeta mukenenya. 

Oluvannyuma lwa Christopher Kaleeba, omukugu mu by’okukuba ebifaananyi by'omubiri munda, okukeberebwa n’azuulibwa ng’alina akawuka akaleeta siriimu yayita nga mu kuswaluka n’okusosolwa bakozi banne mu Ddwaaliro ly'e Mulago, yawa mukyala we ( Noerine Kaleeba ) ne mikwano gye amagezi okutekawo ekibiina ekiwagira abantu abalina akawuka ka siriimu n’abakoseddwa nga bali mu ddwaaliro munda. 

Akabinja k;abantu akatono nga kalimu abakozi b’eby'obulamu n’abalwadde abamu, baweebwa ekisenge ekimu gyebajanjabira obulwadde bwa Poliyo mu ddwaaliro ly'e Mulago gye baatandikira okuwa obujjanjabi eri abalwadde abaali tebasula mu ddwaliro wabula nga bava bweru nga kidukanyizibwa Elly Katabira ng’eddwaliro erijanjaba obulwadde bwa mukenenya.  : olupapula 122 

Mu 1989, TASO yakyaza Philly Lutaaya, omuyimbi omumanyifu, omulwanirizi w'eddembe ly'abalwadde abalina  mukenenya, era nga ye muntu eyasooka okuvaayo mulwaatu n'alangirira nga bweyali alina obulwadde bwa Siriimu mu Uganda. Oluyimba lwe '*Alone*' lwatwalibwa ng’oluyimba lw'ekitongole kya TASO nga kw’otadde n’ebibiina ebirala bingi ebiyamba mukulwanyisa mukenenya mu Uganda n'okulabirira abalina obulwadde buno, nga kwekuli n’amawanga amalala mangi.   : olupapula 63 Nga bagoberera eky'okulabirako kya Philly Lutaaya, bakasitoma abaali n’ekitone ky’okuyimba, okuzina amazina n'okuzannya katemba, baatandika okuyimba mu bitundu eby'etolodde eggwanga okumannyisa ku bulwadde bwa siriimu n'akawuka ka mukenenya.  : olupapula 31 Enkozesa y’ennyimba, amazina ne katemba yakopebwa mu bifo bya TASO eby'enjawulo byonna era n’ekifuuka ekintu ekikulu eky’okukunga abantu n’okubamannyisa.  Ku nkomerero ya 1993, TASO yali egaziye okuva ku disitulikiti emu okutuuka ku disitulikiti musanvu mu Uganda. 

## Beekolagana nabo
Nga bali wamu n’ekibiina ekirala ekiyitibwa Traditional and modern Health practitioners Together Against AIDS (THETA), TASO yatandikawo enkolagana n’abasawo b’ekinaansi mu 1992 okubawa obukugu bw'omusingi mu kubudaabuda wamu n’okumanya ebikwata ku bulwadde bwa siriimu.  : olupapula 164 

Okuva mu Gwekumiu 1999 okutuuka mu 2007,  TASO yakolagana n’ekibiina ky’Abakyala abalina Akawuka ka Siriimu mu ggwanga okuddukanya pulojekiti y’Okuwona Abaana. Pulojekiti eno yamala ddoola 1,000,000 era yayamba abaana 435 okutumbuUla obukugu bwaabwe mu kusoma n’okuwandiika n’okufuna obukugu obwetaagisa okusobola okuwangaala.  : olupapula 74  Okuva mu Gwekumi 2000 okutuuka mu 2007,  TASO yasa mu nkola enkola y’okutendekebwa mu by’emikono eri abaana abeetaaga okuyambibwaako. Yamala ddoola 926,355, ng’abaana 832 beebaaganyulwaamu nga bayita mu kutendekebwa n'abakugu.  : olupapula 75
