Dr Temitope Ilori, the Director-General of National Agency for the Control of AIDS , said 75,000 new infected HIV cases and 45,000 HIV-related deaths were recorded in 2023.
She added that “it is disheartening to know that in 2023, we had as much as 75,000 new infections and 45,000 HIV-related deaths. Pate, who was represented by Dr Bashorun Adebobola, the National Coordinator, National AIDS/STI Control Programme , said: “we should strengthen our communication strategies in such a way that we can pass the right message.
He said that ” in spite of remarkable progress, prevention of new HIV infections is still a challenge, as many countries, including Nigeria are not on track to meeting the 2025 prevention target. He said “once someone is living with HIV, he/she must adhere to medications, then definitely the chances of transmitting HIV to another person is zero.”
