Sh1.7 trillion plan to eliminate HIV spread by 2030

Kenya: The Government will Wednesday launch a Sh1.7 trillion HIV strategy to avert about 800,000 deaths, 1.2 million transmissions and eliminate new infections within 16 years.

The $19.9 billion strategy intends to cut the 101,560 new infections recorded last year to about 50,000 by the end of next year. It further expects to cut new infections to 25,000 within the next five years and eventually eliminate new infections completely by 2030.
