Numbers Of Newly Tested HIV Positive Patients In Nigeria In The Last 3 Months by DrMB(op): 4:36pm On Jun 02
Are we looking away from a silent crisis?
While the headlines focus on politics and the economy, the latest health data reveals a sobering reality. Over the last three months alone, thousands of Nigerians have tested positive for HIV.
Is your state doing enough regarding testing, awareness, and prevention?
Here is the official breakdown of newly tested HIV-positive patients across Nigeria between March and May 2026, according to the National Data Repository.
High numbers can mean two things: a higher spread, or simply better, more aggressive testing campaigns in those states.
👇 What do you think is driving these numbers in your state? Are advocacy programs fading, or is healthcare access improving?

The disease is even more prevalent in many states that are sitting below. The fact is that they're not testing that's why they think they're not infected. Do aggressive HIV test in this country and you'll be surprised at what you'll discover in many of those states who think they're safe.

Lagos with over 20m population, has 1,949, this doesn't surprise me given the population and ethnic diversity in Lagos. Percentage-wise, that's one of the lowest.

But Akwa Ibom & Benue, states with 4m - 5m population, have consistently had a high rate of HIV transmission over the years. Wetin dey occur for those 2 states? 🤔
