fewer than 9,579 people were tested positive to HIV of the 616,318 that
attended the HIV Counselling and Testing (HCT) awareness programme from January
to June, 2016.
Oluseyi Temowo, the
Chief Executive Officer, Lagos State AIDS Control Agency, LSACA, made this
known on Wednesday in Lagos.
Mr. Temowo spoke at a
news conference in Ikeja to mark the 2016 World AIDS Day with the theme: “Hands
Up for #HIV Prevention’’.
The News Agency of
Nigeria reports that United Nations had in 1988 declared every December 1 as
the World AIDS Day.
This is to honour AIDS
victims and focus on issues surrounding HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) and
AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome).
