The journey to reversing the curve

For over 20 years, MSF has provided HIV care in Homa Bay, Kenya: this is the area with the highest rate of HIV infection in the country. Following the results of a study in 2012 in Homa Bay, MSF revised its approach to strengthen decentralised care as part of a broader, collective effort along with the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation (EGPAF) and the Ministry of Health. The new approach debuted in 2014 with the aim to drive a major improvement in the HIV “cascade of care”: testing as many people as possible for HIV, starting as many HIV-positive people on ART and improving adherence to ARTs by those living with HIV to the point of having undetectable viral load. In 2018, a second survey (NHIPS 2) showed successful results in all the parameters of the cascade of care, associated with a reduction in the rate of new infections.
