Entitled the “iKnow Concert Series”, this free annual concert offers a variety of musical acts featuring traditional artists from the community, well-known local stars, and international artist from around the world who come together to launch a three-pronged approach.

We have hypothesized that an event-based HIV awareness and testing initiative can reduce stigma and increase the acceptability of testing in rural Uganda.
