Prof. Dorothy Mbori-Ngacha reflects on the early HIV/AIDS crisis in Kenya, marked by stigma and limited treatment options.
She discusses the breakthrough of Nevirapine in 2003, which reduced mother-to-child transmission by 50%, offering hope to Kenyan mothers.
Prof. Mbori-Ngacha also explores how international support, especially through PEPFAR, transformed Kenya’s HIV response, enhancing pediatric care and community interventions.
She addresses ongoing barriers to care for key populations and youth and highlights Kenya’s commitment to UNAIDS’ 95-95-95 targets and the “Triple Elimination” goals for an AIDS-free generation by 2030.
