[Emmanuel Mochoge, Standard]Kenya could require Sh45 billion annually to procure Anti-Retroviral (ARVs) medicines and other commodities. Kenya has made significant progress, but not enough to stop the infections especially among children, girls and women. More than 150,000 of women living with HIV are from the Migori, Homabay, Nyamira and Kisii counties. “Counties have put in place plans that will allow us to break the cycle of new HIV infections and ensure all those infected are on medication. NACC chairperson Angeline Siparo added the country can accelerate progress towards a Kenya-free of HIV infections, stigma and AIDS-related deaths for the next five years.
