The purpose of the study was to determine the prevalence of depression and anxiety among HIV-positive patients under the Bar Hostess Empowerment and Support Programme along Juja road Centre in Nairobi, Kenya. Other objectives include; establishing the prevalence of depression and anxiety among HIV-positive patients under the Bar Hostess Empowerment and Support Programme Centre in Juja road Centre in Nairobi County; to investigate risk factors that contribute to depression and anxiety among HIV-positive patients and to establish the coping mechanisms used among HIV positive patients. The study was guided by Aaron Beck's Cognitive Behavioural Theory and anxiety disorder theory. The study used a cross-sectional research design. The study adopted a systematic sampling technique. A sample size of 80 participants was selected to take part in this study. The research instruments to be adopted were the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI)-II as tools to measure the prevalence of depression and anxiety. Data were analysed using SPSS version 28 and the findings were presented in charts and tables. The study found the prevalence of anxiety was 34.2% while that of depression was 36.1%. The study found that 40% of patients attending the BHESP Centre in Juja road Centre in Nairobi County suffered from severe anxiety levels.27.5% experienced moderate anxiety, 18.8% mild anxiety and only 13.8% experienced minimal anxiety levels. The study found that 36.3% experienced moderate depression 25.0% experienced clinical depression, 23.8% experienced mild depression and only 15.0% did not experience depression. This implies that there is a need for the provision of services for managing depression and anxiety among individuals living with HIV in Nairobi County.
