‘How HIV/ AIDS treatment can be improved’ [View all]

Is the world winning the war against HIV/ AIDS? The anwser is neither yes nor no. The government believes it is winning, but some people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) believe the fight has just begun.


One thing is, however, certain, it appears the government still has a lot to do to reduce the scourge’s prevalence.


The Minister of Health, Prof Onyebuchi Chukwu, said at the International Symposium on New Prevention Technology for HIV/ AIDS by the National Agency for Control of AIDS (NACA) and the United States Department of Defence in Abuja that so far 6.1 million Nigerians have died of the disease.


Onyebuchi, represented by the Director of Public Health, Dr Mansur Kabir, said orphans left by parents whose deaths were caused by HIV/ AIDS were over two million.
