The four Lake Victoria counties lead in new HIV infections among adolescents, a workshop has been told. Homa Bay stands at 25.7 per cent, Siaya 24.5, Kisumu 19.6 and Migori 14.1, against the national prevalence of six per cent. Of those 771 from Migori, Homa Bay, Kisumu and Siaya died of Aids-related complications. The report showed that eight adolescents contract HIV every single day in Homa Bay. The Kisumu Medical Education Trust has partnered with Unicef and other organisations to advocate comprehensive sexuality education.
