The National Empowerment Network of People living with HIV/AIDS in Kenya (NEPHAK) is a national Network that unites people living with HIVÂ
The ideas that would later on lead to the formation of NEPHAK can be traced to the mid 1990s. This was after it was realized that such a network was needed to unite the then existing support groups and networks of PLHAs in Kenya. By 1998, the first meeting and consultations that led to the establishment of NEPHAK became a reality. In fact, the first existence of a national PLHAs network has been recorded early 1998. Back then, NEPHAK stood for Network of PLHAs in Kenya. It was later towards the end of 1998 that the term national was added to the network to give the full name then: National Network of PLHAs in Kenya (NEPHAK).
