The MRC/UVRI Uganda research Unit on AIDS was established following a request in 1988 from the Ugandan Government to the British Government for collaboration on the research of HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) infection and AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome). The Unit is an institution of the UK Medical Research Council (MRC), integrated into the Uganda Virus Research Institute (UVRI).
