Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni is HIV non-reactive or HIV negative, Red Pepper exclusively reports.
Museveni tested for HIV on Friday to encourage millions of untested Ugandans to check their status, a critical step to stemming the spread of the virus.
This exercise was held at Kiswa Health Centre IV, Bugolobi, in Kampala. The president was first counseled by Dr. Diana Atwine, his personal physician before his blood sample was taken for testing.
We have exclusively confirmed that after taking the samples, Dr. Atwine put them in an extraordinary tube before sealing them in a special bottle.
Unlike other ordinary Ugandans, Museveni samples were not tested from the scene, they were instead taken to a special laboratory at State House and tests were conducted.
Dr. Atwine, according to the sources later relayed the good news to the First couple on Friday evening.

That's a good development especially to the public though i do not subscribe to his leadership style. Suppressing opposition is a disease in Uganda.
