Community Action on Harm Reduction (CAHR)

Kenya is experiencing an HIV epidemic among people who inject drugs, with prevalence recently estimated at 18.3%, and 44% for women. People who inject drugs experience a range of barriers to HIV treatment and care access.

We explored people who inject drugs experiences of these services to support their development.
