Global HIV statistics: 37.9 million, prevalence in Kenya is at 5.6%, prevalence in Busia County is at 7.4%. High prevalence partly linked to irresponsible sexual lifestyles at boarder point. Over 300 CSOs contracted to support in Busia: Improve access to information, healthcare services, socio-economic support and Nutritional support of PLWHA. However, the effect of their interventions had not been exclusively established by 2014.
A quasi-experimental pre-post study was done to evaluate changes attributed to CSO intervention.
Baseline and end line data compared from intervention and non-intervention sites. FGDs scheduled with PLWHAs in intervention and non-intervention sites and responses compared.
