Kenya had a target of reducing new HIV infections to <22000 by 2020 but recorded 33,000 in 2020 (UNAIDS, 2020)
- 15 – 24years contributed 41% of all new infections among the adult population with AGYW contributing two thirds (HIV Estimates, 2020)
- Kenya implements combination prevention (biomedical, behavioral, and structural) interventions for HIV prevention
- Key populations (MSM, FSW, PWID, and Transgender) continue to be disproportionately affected by HIV
- Shortages of essential commodities like condoms and HIV test kits – a barrier to prevention
- Limited funding for HIV prevention (donor and national allocation)
