The numbers are from the people who have been tested, the numbers might rise if more people are tested, he noted.
Kenyans are living a very risque life engaging in unprotected sexual activities with multiple partners even after they are married. The age group between 15 to 24 years old people are more afraid of getting pregnant that acquiring HIV/AIDS.
In the detailed thread, Muchiri also notes that married men are also having sex with other men, even as they keep female ‘side-pieces.’
Here is the prevalence as sampled in different counties:
