₦airaland Forum

The Society for Family Health, a non-
governmental organisation, says more than 3.2
million Nigerians are still living with the Human
Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV).
Bright Ekweremadu, managing director of the
society, said this in Abuja on Thursday during a
forum to mark the end of Enhancing Nigeria’s
Response (ENR) to HIV and AIDS programme.
He solicited realistic programmes to fight the
virus, insisting that with the prevalent rate,
much had to be done to tackle the menace.
“There have been tremendous improvements in
addressing and halting the HIV and AIDS
burden in Nigeria, [but] there is still a lot to be
done, especially in regard to expanding access
to services,” he said.
“ENR was funded by the UK Department for
International Development (DFID) to promote
sexual reproductive health and HIV reduction in
Nigeria. Its goal was to also contribute to
reducing the spread of HIV epidemic and
mitigating the impact of AIDS in Nigeria.”
He said the ENR programme, which is for a
duration of six years, was inaugurated in 2009
with a focus on eight high-prevalent states.
He said the programme sets to improve access
to effective HIV and AIDS prevention, treatment,
care and support information and services for
people most vulnerable to infection.
Ekweremadu thanked the DFID for funding the
programme and for the long-standing support
and partnership.
Kemi Williams, the representative of DFID, said
Nigeria had the second highest prevalent rate of
HIV and called for concerted effort to check the
scourge.
She said that through the ENR, “comprehensive
HIV knowledge increased from 45 per cent for
males and 38 per cent for females by 2014″.
She noted that 1.2 billion male condoms and 4
million female condoms were distributed in the
six years of the programme.
“These condoms, with the associated health
promotion and increased use, prevented an
estimated 109, 364 new HIV infections,’’ she
said.

Na true Na. No need to hide it. Just join the groups n get help from govt subsidized drugs.

see, let me tell you something. although the figures of PLWHA are high, its not up to the outrageous figure you posted. the main reason why our government gives high figure is because of the funds(often times in vaccines, facilities and others) that WHO and other Non governmental organizations will bring in to help reduce the spread.

just like you saying that Benue state has the highest population of PLWHA.


abstinence or CONDOMISE, and desist from sharing body piercing objects (esp ladies doing pedicure and using needles to make your hair).

Take a tour to Clinix or Mecure and you will see what i am saying.


lets show love to our friends, colleagues and family members living with the virus.

HIV is not deadly and can be maintained by early detection. Go for your HIV stest TODAY!!!

We are all AFFECTED by this virus
