Benue state, my state leads the pack of HIV infection in Nigeria
230,000 children died of AIDS and HIV related illnesses in 2012 ,
A greater percentage of HIV infections are among young people ,
Please, share your thoughts on what you think can be done to reduce the prevalence rate of HIV AIDS in Nigeria !
Pls answer this few question
1. Will you sleep with an HIV infected person on the same bed
2. If you discover Fiance is infected will you still go ahead with the wedding ?
3. What will you do if your wife tests positive to the virus?
