Nairobi is the capital city of Kenya,the ancestral nation of president Barrack Obama, the current U.S. president.Nairobi hosts several international organizations,many media houses operates in the city, and is also the regional hub of eastern Africa.National statistics taken for over a period of eight years indicate that Nairobi has a Hiv/Aids prevalence rate of nine percent against a national average of eight percent.This is happening despite the fact that awareness levels are at its highest. This book examines the current educational interventions being offered to the risk groups that seems not to yield desired results. It offers previoulsy unexplored, and stimulating educational strategies that could possibly procure expected results and thus reduce the likelihood of Hiv/Aids infection among the risk groups. The findings could also benefit other stakeholders involved at various stages of intervention to come up with workable strategies/programmes that could effectively tame the current trend of Hiv/Aids pandemic in Nairobi.
