W omen who use drugs (W W UDs), are a growing population in Uganda. These face double stigma and its worse if they are also living with HIV/AIDS. Most of them engage in sex work and this makes it more complicated in terms of access to health services and adherence if they are living with HIV and enrolled on ART. In Uganda, dominant political and social discourses dehumanise people who use drugs and in particular, women who use drugs and sex workers leading to stigma, violence and reduced access to SRH/HIV services and elevated risk of acquiring HIV.
