The experts spoke during the ongoing launch of the public service workplace policy on HIV, AIDS, and other syndemic diseases.

Employers are required to support employees in eliminating HIV/AIDS and stigma related to the disease, ensuring they get tested, enrol for treatment, and have their viral load managed.

Data reveal that despite Kenya working toward eliminating HIV/AIDS by 2030, cases of advanced HIV disease and deaths are still reported.

Mother-to-child HIV infection remains a concern, with at least 10 out of 100 newborns infected with the virus.
