The Ministry of Health is conducting the 2024 Bio-Behavioral Survey in select counties. The survey, that will run for the next 2 months, aims at providing information on behavioral and HIV seroprevalence information among men who have sex with men (MSM), female sex workers (FSW), and people who inject drugs (PWID) to inform HIV program planning among key populations as per the universal health coverage interventions.
