While there are no specific statistics, it is generally thought that the level of HIV/Aids infection is higher among the Deaf community than it is for the hearing community. In order to address this concern, a number of different organisations, such as Handicapped International and the U.S. Peace Corps, are devoting resources to improving information to the deaf community.

There are also four deaf-accessible facilities available for the counseling and testing of HIV/Aids. In Nairobi, there is the Liverpool VCT in Hurlingham and another VCT in city center. There is also a center in Mombasa and Kisumu.
