With 1.6 million people living with HIV, Kenya has the fourthlargest number of people infected with the virus in the world. The number of new infections each year has dropped at a relatively slow pace. However, accelerated expansion of treatment has meant that many more people who contract HIV are staying alive.
About 700,000 people are now on HIV treatment in Kenya, and 53,000 women receive prevention of mother-to-child transmission services representing more than 70 percent coverage. Strong HIV testing campaigns have seen 75 percent of Kenyans test for the virus at least once. Fifty percent of people living with HIV in the country know their status. Also, expanded prevention efforts in providing voluntary medical male circumcision have led to 800,000 circumcisions.
