The fight against triple threat has gained impetus in Homa Bay after a programme for rescuing adolescents from new HIV infections was launched in the county.

Triple threat is a public health issue which refers to HIV and AIDS, teenage pregnancies, and gender-based violence (GBV).

Homa Bay is one of the top counties whose adolescents are worst affected by triple threat, especially new HIV infections.
