As countries continue integrating HIV services within broader health systems, Kenya has emerged as an example of how Advanced HIV Disease (AHD) services can remain visible, community-centered, and responsive within evolving models of care. Through strong collaboration between the National AIDS and STI Control Program (NASCOP), healthcare workers, communities, and implementing partners, Kenya continues to advance efforts to strengthen early diagnosis, improve linkage to care, and sustain access to lifesaving AHD services for vulnerable populations.
Recently published by NASCOP, this video and accompanying report highlight ongoing progress and reflections from Kenya’s AHD response, including the significance of integrated approaches to HIV care.

These themes will also be explored during the upcoming satellite session at AIDS 2026, Sustaining Advanced HIV Disease Care: Lessons from Program Integration and Country Experiences, where Dr. Andrew Mulwa, Head of NASCOP, will join panel discussions focused on integration, sustainability, and the future of AHD programming within changing health systems.
Through the generous support of Unitaid, the Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI)-led THRIVE Project is enabling access to critical prevention, screening, and treatment commodities for advanced HIV disease to dramatically reduce mortality among adults and children living with HIV. The THRIVE project is conducted in partnership with AFROCAB and Penta.
