Two women and a HIV test gone awry

It all began on July 20, 2016, when EM, as she is identified in court papers, visited Diani Health Centre for a routine antenatal check-up.

EM was excited at the prospect of welcoming her second child until the results of a HIV test she took at the health centre turned her world upside down. Those results would also raise questions on the accuracy of similar tests being conducted in the country, with an affidavit by a Laboratory specialist filed in court saying the algorithm the country uses in testing is short of World Health Organization(WHO) and Center for Disease Control and Prevention (DCD) requirements.
