Kenya’s running low on anti-HIV drugs.

Antiretrovirals can be really helpful when it comes to keeping people living with HIV healthy.

But for the last couple of months, they’ve been hard to come by in Kenya.

This is partly due to a tax dispute between the government and donors who import the drugs.

Health workers on the ground tell a different story though.

Some say access to these life-saving drugs has been a problem for a while.

So, how’s this affecting the lives of the estimated 1.5- million Kenyans living with HIV?
