The Federal Government has said that Nigeria records 281,000 new infections of HIV/AIDS every year. This announcement was made yesterday in Abuja. However, the Director-General of the Nations Action Committee on AIDS, NACA, Prof. John Idoko expressed satisfaction with the progress made in the fight against the disease. Idoko disclosed that only 400,000 persons living with HIV/AIDS are receiving drugs out of about 3 million people currently infected, adding that about 1.5 million people are expected to be on anti-retroviral drugs. Speaking at the zonal consultations on ownership for sustainable HIV response, Idoko said that the irregularity in funding the NACA by donor agencies was because of the global meltdown in the past three years. "We have seen very significant progress in the fight against HIV and AIDS in Nigeria – more than 25 per cent HIV decline between 2001 and 2009. However, we still have very significant gaps," he said, "Nigeria has the largest burden of transmission of mother child of HIV in the world – 30 per cent with about 70,000 children born every year with HIV. These children hardly live to see their third birthday without treatment." Idoko also said that a lot needed to be accomplished in order to ensure a future free of HIV/AIDS. "If we are to transform the landscape of AIDS, it must remain high on the national and global agenda. We must move to a response that is long-term and sustainable-one that makes full use of the knowledge and resources developed over the past three decades, yet continues and respond to a changing world that is constantly influencing the future of AIDS." The NACA boss urged donor agencies to ensure regular funding of the agency, saying over 80 percent of their finance comes from them.

Sad news! We all should be determined to play safe and save our generation. Stick to a single partner and if you must 'stray' use protection. I was shocked to learn that some Nigerians believe washing up after sex prevents HIV infection; and these are literate people! |

Re: 3million Nigerians currently infected with HIV/AIDS - NACA by Wallie(m): 10:01pm On Feb 15, 2012 |
perryy: Have you taken the test? Is this what you say to comfort yourself? Which debate are you referring to? Is it the one in which one prominent person made an unfounded claim based on his hunch only to have his hunch consistently debunked by the scientific community? Or are you referring to those who refused to take HIV medication and end up dying of AIDS related illnesses? Regardless of your believe, if you have it, you will end up dying very soon unless you’re one of the 1% long term nonprogressors and even then, you have about 10 years before you die! However, if you start taking your Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART) drug, you might live past another 20 years! The choice is yours. If you don’t have it, good for you and strap up! |

Let me give you guys something to think about. How did hiv and aids came about? Hiv and aids was created by scientist, it is an agenda to depopulate the world from 7billion people to 500million. Those anti-virus companies selling software are the once who actually created the virus, their aim is to get money from you. another example is the movie mission impossible when a scientist created virus and anti-virus, u can tell the rest from that movie if you have watched it. Have you ever heard of scientist or very wealthy man died of aids? or you think they dont meet women? Think about it properly, there is something going on that your eye cant see and to deep for you to imagine. HIV AND AIDS ID AN AGENDA TO DEPOPULATE THE WORLD. its a fact! |
