According to the National AIDS and Sexually Transmitted Diseases Control Programme (NASCOP), about 270,000 people urgently require ARV treatment. But, at most, only 11,000 Kenyans are receiving the drugs - 6,000 of whom are on government programmes. The United Nations Joint Programme on HIV/AIDS estimates that more than two million people in the country are HIV-positive, this out of a population of about 30 million.
