JULY 2007 — Written by FHI/Kenya and US-based staff, this publication analyzes data obtained from over 100,000 clients at 17 of the 217 voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) sites the IMPACT Project helped establish in Kenya from 2001 to 2005. Among the key conclusions were the following:

• Mass media campaigns and the introduction of antiretroviral treatment helped increase the number of clients at VCT sites.
• VCT services have mostly attracted young people, many of whom were getting married or otherwise planning for their futures.
• Single, sexually active women have higher HIV prevalence than other groups, and young males were more likely to have practiced abstinence than their female counterparts.
• Condom use remains low, even for risky sexual encounters.
