Hepatitis is preventable with vaccines, and children who go for immunization get their vaccines which offers protection for life.
In as much as it's highly infectious perhaps more than HIV, many won't catch it because they are immunized against it.

Areas with larger Muslim population has the lowest rate , the higher the muslims the lower the rate, this reveals a lot . If you know you know. Over to you Iyamiri.

How Nigeria’s 36 states fare in HIV prevalence

Two South-south states are among the three states with the highest HIV prevalence rate in Nigeria.


Akwa Ibom tops the prevalence rate chart with about 5.5 per cent of its residents living with the virus. It is followed by Benue which has a prevalence rate of 5.3 per cent while Rivers is third with a prevalence rate of 3.8 per cent.

The details were contained in the Nigerian HIV/AIDs Indicator and Impact Survey (NAIIS) whose result was released last week in Abuja.

The result shows that about one per cent of Nigerians (1.9 million people) are currently living with HIV/AIDs.

This figure, according to the Minister of Health, Isaac Adewole, moves Nigeria from second to the fourth position among countries battling the HIV epidemic.


With an earlier estimate of about 3.2 million people living with HIV, Nigeria was second after South Africa which ranks first with about 7.1 million people living with HIV.

Announcing the NAIIS result in Abuja on Thursday, the Director General of the National Agency for the Control of AIDs (NACA), Sani Aliyu, said the percentage of People Living with HIV among adults is 1.4 per cent (1.9 per cent among females and 0.9 per cent among males.)

The National AIDS survey was launched in June 2018 to determine the true distribution of HIV and AIDS, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C in the country.


The survey reached around 220,000 people in about 100,000 households and was conducted between July and December 2018.

According to the survey, the South-south zone of the country has the highest HIV prevalence, at 3.1 per cent among adults.

HIV prevalence is also high in the North-central zone with 2.1 per cent and in the South-east zone, 1.9 per cent.

The three regions with lower prevalence rate are the South-west – 1.2 per cent, North-east – 1.1 per cent, and the North-west zone – 0.6 per cent.

The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a virus that attacks cells in the immune system, which serves as the body’s natural defence against illnesses.

Though the popular way of contracting this virus is through vaginal or anal sex, there are other ways. These include sharing of needles or syringes, piercings, tattoos, blood transfusions, semen (cum), or vaginal fluids into open cuts or sores on the body. HIV currently has no cure but can be prevented and managed with proper medication.

Below is the full list of states and their HIV prevalence rate.

Honestly, from the stats one could simply imply that those States with higher prevalences showed how honest and determined they are to accept treatments. You see these people from the north, they are hypocrites, they will prefer to die silently and secretly. Worse still, the authorities will hide actual figures just to look morally perfect. If you ever lived in the core north,you may know what I am talking about.

Na Inyamiri's dey lead. Na them dey always carry first for any bad thing.

The statistics are not even close to being complete. The likelihood of the HIV positive northern person going to the hospital is low. Cool down.

Zombiekiller010:
if its preventable as you claimed,then where and why are those people that have been immunized still getting infected with hepatitis

BeautifulMind2:

Southeast is the least

Ennamdee:


I honestly do not understand what people like you gain by flaunting your ignorance. Must we be tribal or petty about everything?
Just so you know, there are several factors that would have influenced these data. First of all, An ill person will have to go to the hospital/laboratory to get tested for data to be obtained. So that being said, in areas where access to formal healthcare is low, data collection will be low and this will ultimately affect the result obtained.

mctfopt:

Also, in everything statistics, you should take cognisance of things like people's ease of access to hospitals. What if state A has more people visit the hospital and is declared higher HIV prevalent while state B residents hardly visit any hospital?

.

Naajjii:

Look at this one trying to console yourself, all these statistics are mostly gotten from people who fell sick as a result of HIV, they visit hospital and information captured. Are you saying most Muslims have stronger immune system such that they dont easily get sick from HIV therefore visit hospital less? The thing is you cant run away from it, the more HIV inflict your area the higher the rate of people that visit hospital hence the higher the ranking.

The health seeking behaviour also matters ( and this is equally influenced by education, access to healthcare, etc). those in the north visit hospital less than their counterparts in the south. Some women can't even go to the hospital unless their husbands come home and give permission (and the husband in question may have travelled for all you know). many women have dead children on their hands because of this reason where the babies are sick, and they won't simply go to the hospital. many women in difficult labor have died at home for same reason.
I've seen cases of some HIV positive men with 4 wives who are coming for treatment but their wives are not. The wives are not included in the statistics. Don't forget some of them recycle wives and the divorced wives also go and marry thereby spreading the disease to new hueband and cowives.
Until such wives fall ill and are dumped back at their parents house (and hopefully the parents are educated enough to visit a hospital), they will not be picked up by any statistic.
HIV prevalence we have documented is just a tip of the iceberg generally.

The National AIDS survey was launched in June 2018 to determine the true distribution of HIV and AIDS, Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C in the country.


The survey reached around 220,000 people in about 100,000 households and was conducted between July and December 2018.
