HIV/AIDS

Kenya has more than one million people estimated to be living with HIV/AIDS (1.2 million as of the end of 2003). Kenya's HIV/AIDS prevalence rate (the percent of people living with the disease) is just below that of the sub-Saharan African region overall (6.7% compared to 7.5%). Recent data indicate that the country's HIV prevalence rate may be on the decline in some areas. However, the HIV/AIDS epidemic poses significant challenges to this low-income country. The Government of Kenya first established a National AIDS Control Council (NACC) in 1999, and has a National Strategic Framework for HIV/AIDS for 2005-2010.
