Coronavirus Disease 2019 Open Cohort (COC) Study
REFNo: HS611ES

The specific objectives:
1. Through a cross sectional survey describe risk factors and enlist study participants for the cohort study.
2. To characterize the clinical spectrum of COVID-19.
3. To refine case definitions of COVID-19 using data from different population groups.
4. To explore in detail, the epidemiology of COVID-19.
5. To document outcomes associated with COVID-19 in various age groups, populations and concomitant conditions.
6. To generate data to inform clinical research on COVID-19.
7. To generate population specific data for evidence based public health education as a control measure.
8. Provide a decision tree that has automated feedback that has standard of care including quarantine, call help-line, seek medical attention and avoid spread of the disease.

Acceptability, effect and cost of mobile-health on art adherence among youths: a mixed methods sequential study in Kiryandongo
REFNo: HS576ES

General objective: To assess the acceptability, effect and cost of the Call For Life Uganda mHealth tool on ART adherence among youth initiating ART at Kiryandongo Hospital.

Specific objectives:
Objective 1a: To assess barriers, enablers of ART adherence among youth living with HIV in Kiryandongo Hospital at baseline & study end.
Objective 1b: To assess acceptability of mHealth for HIV adherence among youth living with HIV in Kiryandongo Hospital at baseline & study end.
Objective 2: To assess effect of the CFLU mHealth tool on ART adherence among youths initiating ART at 6 and 12 months.
Objective 3: To evaluate the cost of the CFLU mHealth adherence tool in comparison to Standard of Care.

G - Therapy: Classical Mechanical Resonance Tool For HIV Cure
REFNo: SIR26ES

Main Objective
To design and implement an effective, safe, “isolate – and – kill” Classical Mechanical resonance tool for HIV – riddance from HIV – positive patients.

Specific Objectives
a) To outline a velocity, frequency and wavelength generating system based on scalable vibratory/circulatory dynamics pertinent with the vibratory characteristics of the HIV particles (H – 1 atom system is earmarked).
b) To identify the HIV virus by morphology (physical structure) differentiation using light optical nanoscopy – observation procedures (use flue virus for comparison).
c) To characterize the projected mechanical resonance – based fight between HIV and human defense system cells (realizable by articulating and relating factors implicated).
d) To design and implement a counter resonance tool against HIV’s own mechanical resonance combat weapon against human defense cells (achievable through determining rupture-prone resonant frequency-amplitude factors leading to an effective, safe body- penetrative capacity; as well as the functional body/specimen exposure period).
