Description[ ]

The Kenyan government will enforce a new rule starting in January that makes it mandatory for all HIV/AIDS patients living in Homa Bay and Mombasa counties to undergo biometric registration, according to The Star.

Those patients who are currently taking antiretroviral drugs and are registered with the ministry will be directed to health centers around the country for biometric registration.

The government will start with Homa Bay because it has the largest number of people living with the virus, based on current statistics. 1
