Nairobi County Accelerates HIV Intervention

Report

Nairobi continues to host a highly mobile population comprised of regional refugees and rural to urban migrants which has implications on the accessibility of health services. Te transitional aspect of their health seeking behaviours can hinder the advancement of achieving the 90-90-90 targets. With additional factors such as poverty in the ever growing informal settlements and lingering stigma and discrimination particularly among key population and young girls, the risk of contracting HIV signifcantly increases.

The development of the Nairobi City County HIV & AIDS Strategic Plan 2016 – 2018/2019 is a clear indication of Nairobi County Government’s commitment to addressing the challenges of HIV and AIDS in the County in line with the Paris Declaration of 2014, where it signed up to fast track and end the HIV epidemic in cities by 2030.
