Penalty for knowingly infecting someone with HIV in Kenya

Over the years, people living with HIV have been heavily stigmatised and discriminated against

The presentation of HIV in Kenya over three decades ago was directed more to promiscuity than viral infection hence the fear of disclosure.

Over the years, people living with HIV have been heavily stigmatised and discriminated against such that it is very difficult for anyone to reveal their HIV sero-positive status for fear of judgment, stigma or discrimination.
