Major shift in HIV war as Kenyans now top users of prevention pillAbout 54,000 Kenyans are using the daily HIV prevention pill today up from 9,000 a year ago. Swaziland (Eswatini) which has one of the highest HIV prevalence rates in the world, 27 per cent, has 2,300 PrEP users. Botswana with a prevalence rate of 22 per cent has only 100 PrEP users. The estimates however do not indicate whether these are consistent or just one off users of the daily prevention pill. Earlier last year another study, which also involved the Ministry of Health showed exaggerated HIV prevalence rates in parts of Western Kenya.
