Treadway:
This can't be a doctor.

1 in every 10 is not 75%

Condoms if used correctly offer 99.99% protection.

Was way too vague, and did not give off any sort of technical vibe/knowledge to suggest that this is a HCP speaking. She spoke like a teenager not a doctor. Take out the mention of the word 'symposium' you'd see why I say so.

she was throwing numbers like an illiterate. 75% lol that's 7 folks in every 10 or 75% of lagosians? Sounds like all those Cyprus and Ukraine trained doctors

Oshin56:
you mean is only through intimacy someone can get the disease?

Other means are Very rare

No country in the world has 75% HIV prevalence/rate, not even 30%.

DrAda:
You will be amazed to know that there are published papers out there whose reports may seem very outlandish but they are in fact true.

One of them happens to be a paper that I recently sent to a high impact journal. The reviewer said that it was impossible for me to get such fantastic outcomes in my facility. I replied by inviting him over to see things for himself.

The same paper was accepted for publication this month. Go figure

Madam, 75% HIV prevalence rate is too ridiculous to get a second cursory look.

If a student presented that figure during seminar defense, lab posting defense, or post data, he or she is going back to the lab or field to repeat that study. It is too outlandish and too far fetched.

Even laymen without any medical background would take it with a pinch of salt.

No country has such prevalence rate, not even South Africa that is more heavily burdened by the virus than most parts of Africa.

She lied..

Since you are so fixated on the 75% prevalence rate with no wiggle room for a possible chance that this might be true then I can't help you. It is your opinion, albeit disturbing for a PhD holder. Go figure

At this point, I am quite concerned that your attitude to science will rub off on your mentees. One can only hope that they will garner enough experience along the line, outside of your influence, to explore rare possibilities, which makes science fun.

Yes, the 75% is the problem. It is farfetched and should be dismissed outrightly. We are not talking pseudoscience here.

I wonder the kind of 'Doctor' you are, giving such fallacies a second thought.
75% of 200 million people is 150 million Nigerians positive for HIV. Use your brain!

Something tells me you are even the lady 'Doctor' in question. Throwing around numbers for content.

You can see other physicians here on this thread mocking you as possibly one of those low-quality 'Ukraine-trained doctors'.

As for my mentees, they are doing very well under my tutelage. There are no rooms for the manufacture of statistical gobbledegook in any research that I supervise or superintend.

Some of them have ended up with Scholarships in the US and Europe and they thank me for my contributions.

You go figure.

You're preaching to the wrong choir. Publicly announcing your credentials to disprove a simple, clear logic is just tacky and reeks of a complex (Go figure which one).

That said, no two researchers are alike. Perhaps you're the kind who gets fixated on numbers and facts. I prefer to cut through the noise in search of the truth which is what makes science fun and exciting.

On that note, this will be my last response to you Mr "I have a PhD". You have abig chip on your shoulder. You may want to start by working on that. It's clouding your reasoning.

Do have a nice day.

For those doubting these stats, I want you to visit any sex leak site in Nigeria, and tell me if you see a single video with the participants using condom/protection. It's virtually impossible to come across a sex video in Nigeria where the participants are using protection. These aren't even porn videos, I'm talking about regular folks having sex on a daily basis with different partners. Given how immoral we've become in this country, I have absolutely no doubt that these stats are accurate. A typical Nigerian girl has no less than 3 guys she's sleeping with at every point in her life.

You guys should stop being stupid on this forum. Why are you guys always blaming women for your failures and lack of accountability. It's really pathetic. Are men really the ones who have one partners?

A Nigerian female doctor has raised serious concerns over the recent surge in HIV cases in Abuja and Lagos.

Speaking out, she said, “This is an advice from me to you: if you're in any sexual relationship with anyone, please go to the hospital as you are watching this video and request a test for HIV.” She added, “The rate of HIV now in Lagos and in Abuja is overwhelming.”

According to her, she recently attended a symposium organized exclusively for doctors. At the event, an NGO that conducts HIV screenings presented data collected from hospitals across the country. Each hospital submitted their records of HIV-positive patients, and the results were alarming. She recalled that the prevalence rate was around 5% in 2020, but it has now reportedly skyrocketed to over 75%. This suggests, she emphasized, that approximately one in every ten people may now be living with HIV. Statistics, she said, indicate that the highest rates are found in Lagos and Abuja.

In her words, “Sometimes, protection doesn't help. I don't want to go into detail, but the whole essence of this video is that, if you're in a sexual relationship with someone, it doesn't matter if the person is your husband, it doesn't matter if the person is your wife. If your husband could have side chicks, if your wife could have side niggas, your girlfriend could have other boyfriends, your boyfriend could have other girlfriends — you know, I will just advise you to carry two legs and go to the nearest laboratory and test for HIV. It's better to know early, to know if you have it or not. And if you do not have it, be more careful because it is rampant and it's spreading rapidly. I am telling you that it is very bad. That symposium was something where the figures they gave were built on evidence.”

Continuing, she urged, “So please, it doesn't matter if you're married. You don't know what your husband is doing, you don't know what your wife is doing. You only know yourself — you don't know your partner. You can't know them too well like that. And even if you know them, this is something that should be done every six months. Please go to the nearest laboratory, go and test for HIV…”

She encouraged viewers to watch the full video and take her advice seriously. Recounting more of what she learned, she said there had been about a 50% increase in HIV cases from the previous year.

In her closing remarks, she stressed: “Before entering any sexual relationship, please always go for an HIV test. Sometimes, protection may fail in preventing HIV transmission, so we need to be extremely careful.”

That's a conscise video.
