Kenya among States making big cuts in new HIV infections

“Kenya is among 18 nations worldwide that have cut HIV infections by between 25-50 per cent over the last seven years, a new UN report showed, signalling the success of safe-sex campaigns and improved use of antiretroviral therapy (ART), which helps to limit the risk of new infections by lowering viral loads.

Kenya’s performance tracks a trend in Eastern and Southern Africa regions where new HIV infections have dropped by a margin of about 30 per cent over the period, the largest reduction globally.

Contrastingly, HIV infections have increased in 50 countries worldwide, mostly in Eastern Europe and Central Asia with the UN warning that most countries are likely to miss a global target of lowering transmission of the disease by 2020.”

Kenya targeted those who engage in homosexual behavior with restrictive laws. It has recently overturned those laws. It will be interesting to see if the downward trend continues.
