Lagos State Reportedly Has Over 135,000 Residents Living With HIV

The Lagos State Government has disclosed that more than 135,000 residents are currently living with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV), underscoring the persistent public health challenge in Nigeria’s most populous state.


The state Commissioner for Health, Prof. Akin Abayomi, disclosed this during a media briefing to mark the second anniversary of Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s second term in office.

“135,224 residents are living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV),” Abayomi said, adding that the state government has intensified awareness and intervention efforts by engaging more than 100 religious leaders as HIV and AIDS ambassadors.
He explained that the involvement of faith leaders is aimed at reducing stigma and improving community-level outreach.

  2. Wow!
    Please stay protected, if you can't abstain and no sharing of sharp objects and for those that can't afford their own clippers, please ensure it is sterilized before usage.
    Screening of blood should also be thorough before transfusing into a patient.
    It is well!

  7. Hmmm, and i'm sure it's way more than the reported figure. In as much as it's no longer a death sentence, managing a lifetime disease and being on drugs for life is not a joke. Let's all be careful out there. Stay faithful to your partner biko

  8. I’m a health practitioner in Lagos and I doubt this is the real number. I know a lot of them that register to collect medications in Ogun and Oyo state. Then some are doing herbal meds
    So just multiply this number by 2
    It’s an epidemic but no one is talking
    Too bad
