There are almost more Igbo living outside Igbo land than in the South East.

You know how many live in the HIV prevalent States?

I think it's purely cos of the marriage customs. If you no get money no woman for you.

Dinho20:
STAY AWAY FROM SEX UNTIL MARRIAGE,
GET TESTED BEFORE GETTING MARRIED.
CONDOM WILL NOT SAVE YOU; ONLY GOD SAVES.

QUIT FLIRTING AND GET MARRIED.
BOYFRIENDS AND GIRLFRIENDS OF NOWADAYS MEANS NOTHING BUT VANITY UPON VANITY.
IF YOU ARE MAN IN NEED OF A WOMAN GET MARRIED, IF YOU ARE A WOMAN LOOKING FOR A MAN GET MARRIED.

World AIDS Day, designated on 1 December every year since 1988, is an international day dedicated to raising awareness of the AIDS pandemic caused by the spread of HIV infection and mourning those who have died of the disease. Government and health officials, non-governmental organizations, and individuals around the world observe the day, often with education on AIDS prevention and control.

Today listwand joins in the observation of world AIDS day by compiling some basic facts about the scourge of the disease in Nigeria .

Below are HIV and AIDS keypoints in Nigeria, the facts and statistics, the states with the highest prevalence of HIV and AIDS in Nigeria and more.



World AIDS Day: HIV and AIDS Statistics in Nigeria

1. Nigeria has the second largest HIV epidemic in the world and one of the highest rates of new infection in sub-Saharan Africa.
Although HIV prevalence among adults is much less (2.8%) than other sub-Saharan African countries such as South Africa (18.8%) and Zambia (11.5%), the size of Nigeria's population means 3.1 million people were living with HIV in 2017

2. It is estimated that around two-thirds of new HIV infections in West and Central Africa in 2017 occurred in Nigeria. Together with South Africa and Uganda , the country accounts for around half of all new HIV infections in sub-Saharan Africa every year. This is despite achieving a 5% reduction in new infections between 2010 and 2017.

3. Unprotected heterosexual sex accounts for 80% of new HIV infections in Nigeria, with the majority of remaining HIV infections occurring in key affected populations such as sex workers.

4. Six states in Nigeria account for 41% of people living with HIV, including Kaduna, Akwa Ibom, Benue, Lagos, Oyo, and Kano. HIV prevalence is highest in Nigeria’s southern states (known as the South South Zone), and stands at 5.5%. It is lowest in the southeast (the South East Zone) where there is a prevalence of 1.8%. There are higher rates of HIV in rural areas (4%) than in urban ones (3%)

5. Many people living with HIV in Nigeria are unaware of their status. Nigeria continues to fall short of providing the recommended number of HIV testing and counselling sites.

6. Low levels of access to antiretroviral treatment remains an issue for people living with HIV, meaning that there are still many AIDS-related deaths in Nigeria.

7. Nigeria accounted for 37,000 of the world’s 160,000 new cases of babies born with HIV in 2016. Even South Africa which happens to be the hardest-hit country in the world, with 7.1 million people living with the virus had only 12,000 newly infected children in 2016. The high infection rate in Nigeria, along with the lack of access to Hiv drugs
helps explain why 24,000 children here died of AIDS in 2016, nearly three times as many as in South Africa.

8. Approximately 150,000 people died from AIDS-related illnesses in Nigeria in 2017. Since 2005, the reduction in the number of annual AIDS-related deaths has been minimal, indicative of the fact that only 33% of those with a positive diagnosis in Nigeria are accessing antiretroviral treatment (ART).

You are totally correct!! and yes i am using condoms Nowadays.
I had sex with varities of women not just nigerians, from white, Indians, spanish, south africans, thai and vietnamses to white English women. some of them i don't even know their names or can even recognise them.
Cheers! for the Advice.

NSK4U:
South East Amaka
with all the beautiful Igbo sons and daughters, yet they have low percent of those infected
Igbo Amaka truly, argue with ya keyboard

FBIL:
You're wrong! HIV/AIDS spread is linked to poverty! It's more in rural Southern Africa, it's more among blacks in USA and UK. The South East has a standard of leaving and per capita income comparable to Algeria and China (World Bank/CBN statistics 2014). So, even those Igbos outside Igboland don't like communal lifestyles, they prefer a certain hygiene standard devoid of careless living with neighbors, hence the reason they prefer to build their own home wherever they reside.
