In the report, 10 countries contributed to 57 per cent of people living with HIV.
The counties include Kisumu (128, 091), Nairobi (124, 609), Homa Bay (120,600), Siaya (96, 297), Migori (76,053), Nakuru (57, 635), Mombasa (50, 656), Kakamega (48,733), Kiambu (45, 917) and Kisii with 42, 210 cases.
Speaking during the release of the Status of the country's HIV epidemic report, Masha attributed the infections to silence and kangaroo courts.
Gender-based violence
Meanwhile, pregnancies and sexual gender-based violence is a proxy to HIV infections according to the new report.
In the report, at least 18 per cent of all people attending Antenatal clinics (ANC) are children aged between 10 and 19 years.
Dr Masha attributed the pregnancies to silence among police, elders, religious leaders, teachers and parents.
Also, instead of action being taken against perpetrators, they are taken to kangaroo courts.
Meru is the leading county in the number of children pregnancies in the country.
To end the vice, she said NSDCC is working with Njuri Ncheke to find a lasting solution.
Treatment of HIV has also improved by 97 per cent, from only 656, 369 to 1, 294, 399 patients taking up the treatment programme.
More than half of all AIDS-related deaths occurred in 10 counties in 2022.
Nakhumicha acknowledged support from donors like PEPFAR saying they have played a major role in the treatment programme.
"When I was going to college, people who had died of HIV/AIDS were taken to villages in paper bags. But now, thanks to PEPFAR we have made progress," said Ms Nakhumicha.
She also warned the public against instilling stigma, saying it affects treatment.
She maintained that implementation of Universal Health Coverage (UHC) will boost service provision in ending HIV/AIDS.
Meru Governor Kawira Mwangaza promised to work with the Ministry of Health toward ending HIV/AIDS by 2027.
Meru, she said, is also working closely with community health promoters to ensure people living with HIV access treatment, and also sensitise the community on prevention measures.
Labour and Children Affairs CS Florence Bore pleaded with parents to monitor and talk to their children about HIV transmission and instill life skills to them at a tender age.
"This generation of our parents, we are not doing what our parents did. We are where we are because of what our parents did.
Parents, I included, we need to work extra hard in ensuring that we educate our children but we are too busy looking for money and forget talking to our children," said Bore.
