Home based counseling and testing.

At a time when more than 80% of Kenyans did not know their HIV status. Many people were dying due to lack of knowledge of modes of infections  and prevention towards HIV, deaths related to HIV were getting higher, fear gripped the country about a disease they knew nothing about the origin nor the cure. Hiv was declared a national disaster.
Then CDC in collaboration with KEMRI entered the slums of Kibera with the home based teaching and  counseling programme giving modes of prevention and infection. Many people now know their status, Many can prevent themselves and more so, even those ones who already Hiv can go on living with their family. Thanks  to this elaborative exercise
