Shebi I have been saying it on this platform...!

The spread of HIV/AIDS is already way out of hand in this nation, and we are all acting like it's nothing.

Not to mention Hepatitis B, and the raging drug-resistant strain of Gonorrhea.

Make una dey knack raw dey go!


Soon, it will be 1 in every 10 persons with such deadly infections.

With serious cutting in funding for the Meds, they will become highly expensive to manage, leading to higher mortality rates.


You shouldn't even sleep with a girl or guy these days without certifying their Infection status...

Not all condoms can guarantee your safety... No thanks to influx of fake shit into the nation.
my prik dey safe inside 1 locker.. I no dey border😂😂

The public have forgotten what that is, the price of condom is high compared to free sex, and something must kill a man. That is the work of national orientation agency.

Those days when I was still practicing in 9ja, na so this yellow paws paw banny with a voluptuous arse came to my centre for her monthly CD4 and viral load test. Omo, since that day, na sofri sofri I dey run my things.

The thing no dey show for face....

Another case was when a lady who came for delivery and we needed to prepare blood in case of an emergency, husband was to be the donor. After screening tests were conducted, wife was positive and husband was negative, how come? Na so matter cast that day. This was in Benin.

Most people who live with this virus do not get to know early enough. Early is key to staying healthy...

That is not how it works.

If you want to know the prevalence of HIV in Akwa Ibom, do a population based prevalence survey...ie do a multistage sampling method where you choose several LGA , choose some communites in each LGA, choose to test certain number of people, and then voluntarily counsel and test people.

Hospital testing statistics CAN give us an idea of prevalence, but , people may be coming in from outside the hospital's catchment area for VCT, largely because of stigma. That can give the idea that in the vicinity of a hospital there are too many HIV Positive people.(Keep in mind also that people coming in for anything hiv can and do lie about their names and origin.)

Problem with Nigeria is data not avaialble easily, It is too expensive to do a population based survey. Especially a statewide one (and Akwa Ibom is not too large....I tremble with fear if I was asked to do one in Kaduna state, or even Lagos state.
but its not costly to steal money by d governor.. D hospitals sef,dem no dey keep record..

Maintain confidentiality, stop be rascal with information no one ask you about. Nigeria is still under educated about the virus. Most of the reactive are caused by late stage infection or late discovery of the disease. Nigeria medical authorities should call her to order. Don’t mention State or name people can easily start stressing and stigmatizing.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with his quote. There is no personal data, name , address or any information that can be traced.
He only game epidemiological / community health statistics which is also available online. He should be commended for creating awareness.

Same with other states especially lagos state, Nigeria has the highest number of people living with HIV, the reason why the stats is low is because most Nigerians don't want to do the test.

what does it do?

Prep is like a preventive drug you take before having intercourse. If you're just starting, you need to take either 2 tablets 2 hours before intercourse or 1 tablet 7 hours before intercourse.

After that, you need to take only one tablet daily at the same time or around the same time each day.


You can stop taking it when you're sure you will not be exposed to sexual intercourse without protection. However, it is advised to stop 7 days after your last intercourse.

Pep on the other hand is a drug given to you after you may have had sex with a positive person or someone who you think is positive. It is best to take it as soon as possible, but it can only be effective if taken within 72 hours of the exposure. You will need to take one tablet daily for 30 days.


You can get these at NGOs or general hospitals, but they will test you first to be sure you don't already have HIV. Kudos!

Akwa Ibom has always been one of the states with highest rate of HIV prevalence in Nigeria. The stigma and notoriety once ascribed to the virus and disease in the late 90s and 2000s waned off due to international aids and interventions, especially from the USA. As it is now that Trump has done his thing, prevalence might get higher if our government don't meet up with the challenge. HIV management and testing kits prices have shot up recently, something that was once free or almost free.

CAUTION: Everyone should protect themselves as much as they can.
Talk about lagos state, benue state, Abuja, Imo and most of the state.

I can swear with my life that Nigeria has the largest amount of people living with HIV.

The high posiive case is of the result of monthly target given to the volunteers.

To secure their work, they do as the courtesy demands.

DonAbba:
For the past three years I have been trying and trying to buy a good phone but I couldn't do it. From 3years ago to today, it was only once I was able to raise 50k, before I get the remaing 20k to make it 70 I lost it all.

I am tired of using an old android version4 with a faulty screen and camera and a battery that last for only 3hours.
From today I will not have sex, watch porn or masturbate until I make 100k. I gave myself 60days to do so, if I couldn't do it after 60days the journey will be stopped.

How I am gonna make the money, i don't know because i am jobless and I dont have a sellable skill, all I do is menial works. But I have faith.

There is a lot of HPV sensitization. You just don't look for it.

(There is even a simple test for hpv effects that many women do in this country. It's called a PAP smear.)

Also, HPV vaccines are avaialable for teenage girls under NPI

This doesn't fall under the purview of lack of confidentiality.
Infact,it's is in cases like this that principle of confidentiality is broken.when the public health is at risk!

Its not a SECRET that Akwa Ibom and benue states have the highest prevalence of HIV in the country.Just Google it,it will be laid bear
