In 2024, Kenya's HIV burden was an estimated 1.3 million people living with HIV.
This is a national prevalence of 3 per cent, and approximately 20,000 new infections.
The burden is not uniform, with higher prevalence rates in certain key populations like people who inject drugs.
The five counties of Nairobi, Kisumu, Homa Bay, Migori, and Siaya account for a significant portion of new infections.
The National Syndemic Diseases Control Council (NSDCC) is leading efforts to address the HIV epidemic through various programmes and strategic frameworks.
