| HIV/AIDS in East Africa |
Exactly 20yrs ago (1986) there were only 250 reported cases of AIDS in Kenya and there were 38 deaths related to this disease. This number included Kenyans and foreigners mostly from neighbouring countries. Majority of them aged between 20 to 35. this study was prompted by reports from a London based institute; Pano, which claimed that 88% of prostitutes in Nairobi had Aids. The reports also alleged that AIDS has its origins in Africa. The government decided to carry out a research to prove the allegations wrong. Facts show that the first case of Aids was in the Western world. The only difference is that it spreads faster in Africa than in the west.
