Dear all,

Kindly help me find a University that will accept an HIV positive young person from Africa. I know of a seventeen year old twelfth grader who is HIV positive and would like to study at any university within or outside Africa.

Hi Godfredah,

I think as long as s/he has good grades then the universities will take them. I don't know of any University that requires an HIV test for entrance but again I may be mistaken or uninformed.

So let them just apply to the University of their choice and see what the response they get is.

Best of luck

Dear Mr. Mugala,

Thanks for your concern over the 17 year old Child. I'm however wondering what exactly you are asking. Is it sponsorship or admission to a university? If its admission, I'm not aware of a University which discriminates HIV positive students. I'm at Makerere University and what I know is that they don’t screen students before admission.
