HIV AND
AIDS VULNERABLE STATE IN NIGERIA TODAY
In Nigeria,
the HIV prevalence
rate among adults ages 15–49 is 0.9 percent. Nigeria has the second-largest
number of people living with HIV.[1]
The HIV epidemic in Nigeria is complex and varies widely by region. In some
states, the epidemic is more concentrated and driven by high-risk behaviors,
while other states have more generalized epidemics that are sustained primarily
by multiple sexual partnerships in the general population. Youth and young
adults in Nigeria are particularly vulnerable to HIV, with young women at
higher risk than young men. There are many risk factors that contribute to the
spread of HIV, including prostitution, high-risk practices among itinerant
workers, high prevalence of sexually transmitted infections
(STI), clandestine high-risk heterosexual and homosexual practices,
international trafficking of women, and irregular blood screening.[2]Nigeria is emerging from a period of military rule that accounted for almost 28 of the 47 years since independence in 1960. Consequently, the policy environment is not fully democratized. Civil society was weak during the military era, and its role in advocacy and lobbying remains weak. The size of the population and the nation pose logistical and political challenges particularly due to the political determination of the Nigerian Government to achieve health care equity across geopolitical zones. The necessity to coordinate programs simultaneously at the federal, state and local levels introduces complexity into planning. The large private sector is largely unregulated and, more importantly, has no formal connection to the public health system where most HIV interventions are delivered. Training and human resource development is severely limited in all sectors and will hamper program implementation at all levels. Care and support is limited because existing staff are overstretched and most have insufficient training in key technical areas to provide complete HIV services.[2]
That is the reason why we are calling all the government
sectors, private entities and all the public health parastaters that can help
the less privileged people that are dying, weeping and suffering everyday of
their life’s as a result of them been
affected by HIV AND AIDS in our society. The holy word said that whosoever you
have privileged to help in the society, that if you fail to do it in our
society is a SIN
