Declarations
:
: Ethical clearance was obtained from The AIDS Support Organization (TASO) Research and Ethics Committee (TASOREC/052/2020-UG-REC-009). The study was also registered with the Uganda National Council of Science and Technology (UNCST) under registration number SS557ES. Written informed consent was obtained from respondents before all interviews. A thorough explanation of the objectives, benefits, and risks of the study was carried out by the research assistants before conducting the interviews. All information obtained during the study was treated with confidentiality, identifiers were used to mask the identity of respondents, and data access was restricted to the core research team. Participation in the study was entirely voluntary and informed written consent was obtained. Individual privacy was ensured by treating the data as confidential and conducting the interviews from secluded places. Data were not collected on the names, places of residence, or any other information that would reveal the identity of respondents. This reduced the risk of respondents being recognized by law enforcers like the police.
