Abstract
HIV/AIDS is a fatal disease. The disease destroys the immune system leaving the
infected person vulnerable to other infectious disease.
The disease is a looming disaster in the world and Kenya is heavily affected since it was
discovered that HIV/AIDS is affecting a bigger percentage of the work force of this country who
are the youth. This means that Kenya is being deprived of quality services by its people; this in
turn means that the economic growth is slowed down by the loss of this productive workforce.
Poverty on the one hand has become a barrier in the fight against HIV/AIDS. It has
fueled its spread at a very high rate within a short period of time. The disease has no cure even
though there is so much research going on in various parts of the world, so as to come up with a
cure for this deadly virus.
