[size=13pt]I'm very much aware. It still comes down to unsafe intercourse. Straight sex or gay sex. If there's no condom, then it's not safe and they're at risk.[/size]

ogugua88: [size=13pt]As terrifying as this news is, it was something else that caught my eye. How can the rising number of AIDS be partly attributed to a rising number of youths becoming homosexuals? I fail to see how that mention is remotely relevant. HIV/AIDS is not a "gay disease". Homosexual or not, Nigerians have unsafe intercourse. Even if the number of homosexuals in Nigeria went down, the rate of HIV/AIDS contraction will continue to rise until more people are monogamous and use condoms, which is currently the ONLY contraceptive that can prevent HIV/AIDS if used regularly and properly (excluding abstinence).[/size]
I thought you are a medical personnel? Don't you know AIDS is more prevalent among gays?

Homosexual men 44 -86 times more likely to be infect with HIV:  "In 2007, MSM [Men Sex with Men] were 44 to 86 times as likely to be diagnosed with HIV compared with other men, and 40 to 77 times as likely as women."

Men thts som serious stuff o. Damn!something drastic needs to be done and the govt needs to declare a state of emergency in tht place.Anti retroviral drugs must be readily and cheaply provided and a lot of enlightment on this disease must be carried out,a sociological research to find out why Benue is in this really bad situation must be carried out.
Benue may seem far away but you will be shocked to knw how far and fast this epidemic can spread. Evry1 whose bin to Benue in the last five years must be quarantined and thoroughly checked and those abt goin thr please pack all the condoms in the world. This is really scary. however we shuld remember tht people living with this virus deserves our respect and they can live like evry one else-having the virus is not same as death sentence. shocked shocked shocked shocked shocked shocked shocked shocked shocked shocked shocked shocked

[size=13pt]I'm a student but I still know what I'm saying. A lot of partners, both homo and hetero, don't use protection in that "certain" type of sex because they feel there's no risk of pregnancy or disease. You'd be surprised at how many heterosexual fools have unprotected back door sex and contract disease in the name of avoiding pregnancy because they think nothing can happen from that end, talkless of homosexual couples. More people need to be informed. Bottom line.[/size]

They should pay particular attention on new born baby carriers to see if they can be effectively 'cured' like happened with the baby in the USA (i think it was) last week.

I think part of the problem is that people don't seem to be afraid of the disease anymore because you don't see people emaciated and dropping dead like in the 80's.

More publicity in high risk areas like schools (from primary to university) motor parks, markets and on the media should help control the thing.

This no longer a joking matter.The govt needs to do somthing fast and not just talk abt it and 4get abt it after today. Research needs to be carried out to know the reasons why benue is so badly infected, Is it the culture,is it the food or water,is it poverty,it could be anything.The govt needs to declare a state of emergency and not keep this lying low.

contactmorak: The Benue State government has disclosed that over one million out of the 4.5 million population in the state have been infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).

This was made known at the training of media professional on HIV/AIDS held at the Conference Hall, Ministry of Information, Markurdi, Benue
State, on Thursday.

The Executive Secretary, Benue State Action on Control of AIDS (BESACA), Mrs. Grace Wende, in a paper entitled “Basic facts on HIV/AIDS,” said that about 400,000 children living with the virus have been placed on antiretroviral drugs (ARV), adding that 708,640 adults are living with the disease.

Based on the statistics, about two out of five people in the state are carriers of the disease, with women having it more than men.

“In Benue State, the number of adults infected with HIV/AIDS was 708,640, out of which 21,259 were new infections in 2011. In the same year, 17,139 women were found positive.
The number of children requiring ARV was 398,888,” she said.

Mrs Wende cited the attitude of the people of the state to unprotected sex and the rising number of youths becoming homosexuals as factors responsible for the rise in the scourge.
Speaking further, Mrs. Wende noted that many men who flock around ladies and engage in unprotected sex also transmit the virus to their unsuspecting wives.

The Commissioner for Information, Mr. Comrad Wegba, regretted that despite the huge amount of funds the state had committed into the fight against the scourge, the disease was
still spreading.

He blamed the practise of unprotected sex and the deliberate spreading of the disease by carriers as the major sources of the spread of
the disease in the state.

“The former governor of the state, Chief George Akume, visited Angola to see the havoc the disease wreaked on the land and ways to reduce the scourge. Unfortunately, while the
prevalence of the disease has reduced in other parts of the country, Benue is getting worse by the day and this is as a result of our attitude to
unprotected sex as well as deliberate move by the carriers to spread the disease,” Wegba said.

Together with Mrs. Wende, the commissioner called for behavioural change among the people, urging them to stick to a partner and
use condom.
