HIV is real, still..

Published by

FOR many years now, there have been campaigns by advocacy groups and non-governmental organisations on preventing HIV/AIDS infection in the country. To a great extent, the campaign against HIV/AIDS can be said to have heightened awareness among Nigerians and prevented the disaster that would have occurred without it. Yet, nowadays, it is almost as if HIV/AIDS is no longer real.

Perhaps because of the economic problems in the country and the seeming lull in the HIV/AIDS campaign, many Nigerians seem to have banished the issue of HIV/AIDS from their minds, and have been carrying on as if it is now a thing of the past. As every social worker knows, this is a highly dangerous development. It is therefore fair to ask this set of Nigerians: do you know that HIV/AIDS is still real, even in 2017? The only way to get rid of the

disease is by having protected sex, abstaining from sex altogether, and staying faithful to one partner. Anything short of this is an open invitation to disaster.
