Kenya plans to include antiretrovirals (ARVs), HIV test kits and prevention supplies in the government's mainstream procurement system, marking a major policy shift intended to reduce the country's long-standing dependence on external donors for essential HIV supplies.

The Kenya Aids Integration Strategic Framework 2025-30, by the National Syndemic Diseases Control Council (NSDCC), aims to integrate 100 percent of HIV commodities into the Kenya Essential Medicines List (KEML) and county procurement plans by 2030.
