A Kenyan Aids information/opinion Group

Kenya Program Overview

Kenya has the challenge of meeting the reproductive health needs of a rapidly expanding population in the era of AIDS and under the constraint of shrinking health resources. Currently, one in every 15 adults in Kenya is infected with HIV, and each day an estimated 600 Kenyans die of AIDS. Over the past decade, the adult HIV prevalence rate in Kenya has risen steadily from approximately 3 percent in 1990 to almost 14 percent in 1999. Heterosexual contact accounts for 85 percent of the recorded number of HIV infections in the country, with the prevalence of infection highest among females aged 15-19 and males aged 30-34.
