HIV/AIDS is still prevalent in the society we live in. Though scientists have made progress in making preventive medicine and/or medication that subdues the virus to the extent that an infected person can’t transmit the disease to others, the disease is still spreading at a fast rate.

According to the Ministry of Health, preliminary findings of the Kenya Population-based HIV Impact Assessment (KENPHIA) 2018 survey indicating that Kenya’s HIV prevalence now stands at 4.9%. The HIV prevalence in women is much higher than in men.

According KENPHIA the prevalence of HIV in women is at 6.6%, twice that in men at 3.1%. The gender disparity in the burden of HIV is even greater than 3 times in between the ages of 20-34 years.

The following NGOs deal with HIV in Kenya:

  1. Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation
  2. AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF Kenya)
  3. Devex’s The National Empowerment Network of People living with HIV/AIDS in Kenya
  4. National AIDS Control Council
  5. Kenya Legal & Ethical Issues Network on HIV and AIDS (KELIN)
  6. Kenyan AIDS NGOs Consortium (KANCO)
  7. USAID’s President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR)
  8. The National AIDS and STIs Control Program (NASCOP)
