Description
Tammy Nicastro and eight co-authors interviewed rural Kenyans living with HIV about climate stress in a 2026 paper. The regions hit hardest by extreme weather also carry the heaviest HIV burden. Forty farmers on HIV treatment, all facing food insecurity, described how droughts, floods, and heat reach their health.
Nearly all said the weather hurt their wellbeing. The team traced five pathways, led by falling crop yields and income, then deepening food insecurity. Other routes ran through water, work, and care access. The interviews came from a farming support trial, though the study did not judge the trial itself. The authors offer the pathway map to guide climate and HIV policy together.
