innovative research; and to execute strategic and targeted global advocacy

south-western region of Uganda with the goal of increasing access to, coverage
of and utilization of quality comprehensive tuberculosis (TB) and HIV/ AIDS
prevention, care and treatment services. The STAR SW project has four main

2. To improve quality and efficiency of HIV/TB services within health
facilities and Community Service Organizations /groups.
3. To strengthen networks and referrals systems to improve access to, coverage
of and utilization of HIV/TB services.
4. To intensify demand generation activities for HIV/TB prevention, care and
treatment service.
The STAR-SW project will provide a comprehensive service package of HIV
counseling and testing (HCT), prevention of mother to child transmission
(PMTCT), HIV/AIDS chronic care services, HIV/TB collaborative services,
community based directly observed TB treatment-short course (CB-DOTS); and
antiretroviral treatment (ART) for both ARV-naïve people living with HIV/AIDS
(PLHIV) and the transitioned TREAT supported PLHIV currently receiving ART.
This program will foster the development of strong partnerships with other

coordination; expand the referral network; and ensure more efficient use of
resources.
