This document summarizes Kenya's journey in HIV infection prevention and control efforts to achieve universal health care. It describes how Kenya has made progress reducing new HIV infections through various intervention programs since the first reported case in 1983. Key interventions discussed include policy frameworks, HIV testing and counseling, prevention education, and increased access to antiretroviral therapy. While the HIV burden on the economy was initially overwhelming, collaboration between the government and partners has led to interventions that have successfully curbed new infections and brought the prevalence rate down from 10.5% in 2012 to 4.1% in 2017.
