Nonsense. there is no data to support this. many dont know their status and many dont patronize hospitals especially government own for treatments. We re not in techy country where everything is documented.

.
It is not Nonsense Bro.

Yes many don't know because they don't patronize Government Hospitals

but

1. Every state has higher institutions that Carry out medical examination on New entrants year in year out.

2. pregnant Women nowadays do have secret HIV test conducted on them without them knowing. They even ask them to come with their husbands.

3. Same thing with nursing mothers.

4. Every complaint now, The Doctor would order for some tests be carried out on you before prescription or diagnosis and included is HIV codedly.

5. For example, I was told to carry out 7 different tests and RVS was included.

so costing official then circled the RVS before payment for the tests Then I asked him why he circled it? He Then smiled at me and asked if I had ever done HIV test before and I responded in the affirmative.

He now asked me when And I told him 3 times-Once in 2015 and it was negative.

Twice last year but I wasn't told the results.

He then said okay and I should go and pay. so I said since I'm paying, I will do it again before he now directed me to where I can get the test done separate from the other tests location.

Now, That is how I knew that this hospital or medical people have other coded names for HIV that ordinary people don't know.

6. so, it is the statistics of these few people I referred that they use.

7. Meaning that if everyone should have access to the hospital like you are thinking, then more people would be discovered to have HIV and the prevalence figure given would be higher.

But Big Pharma will not make any money from the masses if there is no longer disease.
Think about the trillions made from pharmaceutical companies over decades and you think They want the world to be FREE FROM DISEASE Market go spoil for them..
They will go so far as to create disease in labs and produce drugs that will cure that disease then they target a 3rd world country and infest them with the disease and in turn make billions from selling drugs that will SUBDUE the disease but will not cure you completely.
So the patient will depend on the drugs and the vicious cycle begins.
The Super Elites are hiding the cures of these deadly illnesses. If they release the cure then 6 billion ppl on earth will no longer spend a dime on pharmaceutical drugs thereby making these Super Elites Wealth and Control to Decline..

Let me not join issues with you. First am a qualified and practicing BMLS holder working in the North and as well as a contractor for an NGO here in the North also. So I know what am talking abt dear.

Hahaha nyamuri flat.head! I know it hurts seeing ur region topping the list of HIV patients! what do u expect when all the brothels are saturated by ur women, they can Bleep anything fuckable for money

because a typical hausa/fulani man doesn't use condom that means he should automatically contact it even if they other sex is negative!?!?! .. is it how u fools think?

I see ur desperation in trying to twist makes because it doesn't suit ur narrative

How about u make ur own research and publish it

aadoiza:

If the Elites won't release their cure why don't you come up with yours, release it and make money codedly. Abi must the Elites do everything for you?

Research involves stupendous amounts of money.
A poor man cannot come up with a cure.

So it's safe to hit it raw in katsina?

Fake estimate,Lagos state where everything dey happen no dey on top.

thesicilian:
Why is Akwa Ibom state so high and Katsina so low?

Because A comes before K

But it is not mentioned anywhere in the post that that was what was done, which is my point - you can't just quote percentages without providing the context.

Haba, they don't need to mention it Does one need to mention how 2 and 2 make 4? We already know that is either by multiplication or addition.

It is the same with prevalence rate. Whenever you mention prevalence rate, any statistician, mathematician or economist already knows how it is estimated.

Obviously, you have never done applied statistics before, if not, you won't even make this post.

But it is understandable. I am a mathematician, and I have just told you how it works. It is the same thing an economist, statistician and epidemiologist would tell you.

Hahahahahhaa Lagos you wish

So, 2.6 million people has HIV in Lagos.

uncle what's the population of Lagos that 1.3% is 2.6million

Not because of knacking ooo but because it is not usually with a single partner.

Look. No one knacks like Yorubas ooo because I am talking from experience

Thank God I'm Muslim, Thank God I'm a northerner.

To the people that are always waiting for something bad to happen in the north so that they will come to nairaland and spit out their hate speech, I say deal with it

that statistical report is wrong, I've lived in Niger and Kaduna working in the lab and I know their HIV rate is higher but they don't patronize clinics due to illiteracy and poverty, so don't flatter yourself

the Idomas and Tiv of benue,dey boki,obudu and ugep of Crossriver,The kadunas,Taraba,kogi and all the tribes in Akwa ibom bro u get 98% chance of nacking dey 1st time u meet dis gals

I didn't belie the fact that there are no HIV patient in the core north, but there is no way you can compare and correlate the epidemic with the southern states like how ur trying to potray it!!

You guys are just bitter and frustrated with the research, if it was reverse, you won't be saying all these nonsense.. if it was polio, I would have question it too but definitely not HIV

Or are you trying to tell me that you know better than those researchers, why don't you conduct ur own research and publish it because I don't expect u to attest to it since it doesn't suit ur narrative

I'm from Zamfara state, in all that state, there is no one single open brothel!! But there are very few that are convert and secretive houses... just like states in sokoto, jigawa,yobe,bauchi,gombe,borno,kaduna...in this places, 60% are Christians and southerners,so can you relatively compare it with states like imo, rivers, anambra,delta etc that are known to stage the most number of clubs, brothels and hotels?!?!?!

The reason kano, benue, platue, nasarawa states have high number of HIV among the northern state, is because there are significant number of southerners and Christians compared to other core.northern states

Ok, but let him start from somewhere even if it's going to be traditional, as long as it works.

This is all lies if northerns is not toping the list it simply means the data collected is wrong !ah kaduna wen e bi there headquaters chai i fear who nor fear Nigeria .

Why then can't you find the cures yourself?

Must you continue to depend on the so called Big Pharma to provide a cure for you?

What is the importance or use of all the pharmacy, biochemistry and microbiology you have been studying in the university since 1904?

Nonsense.

I agree with you, a guy on my fb once uploaded a post on his timeline that there is cure for HIV/AIDS and cancers, by many people were doubting him.

That is exactly what I was saying.

Not always with a single partner. If I get 98% chance, Another person too get the same 98%

Another person again get 98%.

Yoruba own na knacking always with 1 or 2 people Everytime. So HIV no go too much

Unlike the Akwa ibom and others wey you mentioned with different people and na im make plenty people get HIV pass Yorubas.

I hope you understand now

Nonsense.

The Super Elite Control What is on the media and what is allowed to be sold. If you come up with a cure the media will not talk about it and Drug agencies will not approve it, which makes it easy for them to arrest you and say you are selling drugs not approved by the drug agencies.
If you however your cure begins to gain popularity then you become a threat to them so they will kill you off. Google the death of Dr. Sebi and many mysterious deaths of hollistc healers that found cures that worked better than pills.

This cannot be true.

Many of you don't like to be corrected.

There is only one way to calculate prevalence rate. If you know it, you won't be asking questions about percentages. Your ignorance was evident from the moment you began to wonder about percentages and variations in population size. This study is not about number of HIV patients but prevalence rate of HIV. They are calculated differently.

Only the result of this particular study was shared on Nairaland. If you want to see the methodology section of the study, then you are better off searching for the original study rather than arguing about stuffs that you don't know anything about. But just know that there is only one formula (way) for calculating prevalence rate but you need to get off your high horse if you ever want to learn.

Gosh!!!

The point is this article is for the public so all the formulas you are yammering on about, cannot be assumed to be known by everyone.
Btw, you are the one that needs to stop exhibiting arrogance. Very irritating. If I ever wanted to learn anything, ITKs like you are the last set of people I will ask. Also, no one cares whether you are a mathematician or not, whose business is it? No one asked you.
