Study cuts Kenya HIV estimates

A survey in Kenya has found fewer people may be infected with HIV than previously thought.
The study, carried out by the Kenyan government, suggests 6.7% of people have the disease.

Previous estimates had put the figure as high as 15% or 4.8m people.

Experts said the figures based on a sample of 8,561 households across the country are the most comprehensive to date
