Headline
Towards ending AIDS — Nigeria moves closer
Description
As recently as 15 years ago, there was a sense of hopelessness for people living with HIV in Nigeria. Today, their lives are filled with countless tomorrows. And by 2022, the AIDS epidemic is expected to no longer be a public health emergency in Nigeria. What a difference a decade makes when there are changes in policy, investment and commitment — all of which were needed to make the life-changing antiretroviral treatment accessible to everyone. The Nigeria story begins with making treatment available to people living with HIV, mostly through hospital HIV clinics, like this one in the Nigerian Institute of Medical Research in Lagos. In the early days of available antiretroviral treatment, the high price in Nigeria, at around 70 000 naira ($635) at that time, put it out of reach to most people. HIV testing and other related services also were not free. Consequently, people were not testing. People were not going for treatment because they couldn’t afford it. Plus, they were afraid: Afraid of dying. Afraid of family and friends knowing about them and rejecting them. Afraid of losing their job. https://www.afro.who.int/photo-story/towards-ending-aids-nigeria-moves-closer
