CONTROL OF HIV/AIDS

     Kenya is one of the world's highly affected countries.An estimated 1.5 million people are living with HIV;around 1.2 million children have been orphaned by HIV.
     In most parts of the country,this still an issue and talking of the Lake region,mainly the lands and areas surrounding the lake,it is a pandemic.People get infected by the virus but they realise when it is almost too late to save the situation.
     The hospiitals in the area and clinics do not offer proper guidance and councelling hence the patients/victims end up being fatigued and stressed up due to shock and fear of being victimized by their relatives and friends.
     The government through the National Aids Control Council is trying to reduce the risks and improve methods of treatment but the number waiting for help is too much.There are some organizations also involved at the community level  but does not get enough concern and attention.
