UNAIDS executive director, Winnie Byanyima, thanked the Buganda Kingdom for organizing the race which is aimed at ensuring that by 2030 it is a myth.

She said there has been increased testing and reduced new infections of HIV since the health-leaning event embarked on HIV and Aids awareness three years ago.

During a meeting with the Kabaka on Saturday, Byanyima hailed the King for championing the AIDS campaign and serving well as the UNAIDS Africa Goodwill Ambassador.

The award

She cited the HIV advocacy campaign called “Men are Stars – Abaami Munyeenye” which mobilizes men and boys between 15-49 years to access HIV services in Uganda’s 25 districts worst affected by the HIV pandemic.

Kabaka Mutebi was appointed the Africa Goodwill Ambassador by UNAIDS in 2017 to engage his subjects to contain HIV.

According to Byanyima, the Kabaka Run has made considerable progress in responding to the HIV epidemic.

“Men and boys are less likely to get tested for HIV to be referred to treatment services and remain in care – meaning men are more likely to die of Aids-related illnesses,” she noted.


Local musician Da Agent thus appeared to thank the King for giving them this generation of the Tebi to be arrows in the plans of the Kingdom.

She added: “The Kabaka Birthday Run has contributed to a steep decline in new HIV infections over the last five years with the Buganda region making the fastest progress in reducing new infections.”
