Philanthropist Bill Gates has spent millions of dollars in the fight
against HIV/Aids

Kenya has developed an effective programme for the prevention of HIV, the
virus which causes Aids, US billionaire and philanthropist Bill Gates has
said as World Aids Day is marked.

Fielding questions on The Conversation blog
<http://theconversation.com/leading-african-academics-quiz-bill-gates-on-hiv-aids-and-the-role-of-philanthropy-68993>
from leading African academics on his involvement in the fight against HIV,
Mr Gates argued that delivery of treatment and prevention was important,
and needed to be personalised.

He then cited Kenya as a country from which the world could learn about the
benefits of tailored delivery of service.

He is quoted by The Conversation as saying:

"Using data to reach at-risk populations faster and more effectively is
[...] crucial. We're excited to see this at work in Kenya.

Kenya's HIV Prevention Road Map [...] is a comprehensive government-led
model for rolling out evidence-based programmes that reflect the needs of
local populations."

Through the foundation he runs with his wife Melinda, Mr Gates has
committed more than $3bn (£2.3bn) to the fight of HIV around the world,
including in Africa, The Conversation says.
