The Epidemic
In Kenya, about 7% of all adults (ages 15-49) are HIV positive. While the epidemic affects every segment of the population, Kenya’s 2009 modes of transmission analysis found that new infections were most likely to occur between heterosexual partners in steady relationships.
AHF in Kenya
In 2008, AHF Kenya was approved to offer ART, HIV testing, and safer sex education in support of the Ministry of Health’s HIV response plan. AHF also partners with the Salvation Army to deliver care at the Kithituni clinic. We work with limited resources to provide lifesaving prevention services and treatment.
