Drivers of under-prescription of cervical cancer screening: evidence from Uganda
REFNo: HS5957ES

Main Objective
1. To quantify the drivers of under-prescription of cervical cancer screening among providers of routine care in Uganda
________________________________________
Specific Objectives
1. To evaluate whether providers lack knowledge of recommended cervical cancer screening practices
2. To identify patient characteristics that predict screening recommendation for cervical cancer.
3. To evaluate whether providers with appropriate knowledge of cervical cancer screening recommend screening to their clients (i.e., whether a know-do gap exists).

Analysing HIV-1 Reservoir Kinetics, and Host Immune Interactions among non-B subtypes.
REFNo: HS5936ES

General Objective

To understand the dynamics of HIV-1 reservoirs and host immune interactions among non-B subtypes infected participants in Uganda.

Specific objectives:
1. To compare the dimensions of the HIV-1 reservoir among Ugandans, including individuals with high viral loads at the start of ART, and those who have been on ART for varying durations.
2. To detect HIV-1 viral properties associated with latent reservoirs across HIV-subtypes, examining how these patterns may differ and contribute to disparities in reactivation tendencies in Uganda.
3. To detect immune correlates in relation to host characteristics, including HIV-1 specific, B-cells, innate immune cells, CD4 and CD8 cell lineage activation, and exhaustion markers.
4. To develop a supervised machine learning algorithm to predict the HIV-1 latent reservoir behaviours in Uganda.

Ecological and epidemiological dynamics of viruses in Ugandan bat populations.
REFNo: NS969ES

1. To determine the prevalence, diversity and genetic variation of viruses in different bat species, considering both time and space.
2. To use host density, distribution, and pathogen prevalence to develop models that can be used to forecast spillover risks from bats to other animals, including humans.
3. To investigate the duration of immunity to viruses in bats by sampling individuals across different age groups over time.
