Uganda’s motorcycle taxi riders could be hindering the country’s fight against HIV. While HIV has declined in Uganda over the past few decades, sexual health experts fear it could be increasing in certain parts of the population. A new study by Makerere University found that boda boda riders are engaging in transactional sex with customers. In Africa Daily Alan Kasujja looks at why they are particularly at risk of contracting HIV.
