Kenya has a severe, generalized HIV epidemic – currently the 7th highest globally – with an HIV prevalence of 4.3% amongst adults aged 15 - 49 in 2023 and approximately 18,000 related adult deaths that year. However, since the 2000s, the country has experienced a notable decline in HIV prevalence, attributed in part to significant behavioral change and increased access to ARV (antiretroviral drugs, also known as antiretroviral treatment/ART).
