This is according to the Executive Director of UNAIDS and Under-Secretary General of the United Nations
, Michel Sidibe, who is currently in Nigeria on a three day visit,
Sidibe was speaking in Abuja after meeting with the Director-General of the National Agency for the Control of AIDS, Prof. John Idoko.
Sidibe said Nigeria needs to improve its testing facilities and the treatment it provides to its citizens to win the war against HIV/AIDS.
“If there is any one country where I should be today to be able to talk about ending this epidemic, it should be Nigeria, because if we fail to control the epidemic, it will be disastrous,” he said.
“If we fail to quicken the pace and reach people, we may not be able to end the epidemic.
“We are in a defining moment, Nigeria has been able to demonstrate that result is possible, that we can see decline on new infections, that we can see decline on the number of persons who are dying from HIV/AIDS, that we can increase the number of people on treatment.
“If we do not demonstrate that we are capable of achieving mother to child transmission at all levels of government and at every single place, it will be difficult. From data in our books, 58, 000 babies are born with HIV/AIDS every year in Nigeria,” Sidibe said.
“We need to be able to make sure that we don’t have those babies born with HIV. We need to make sure that we have a new generation born without HIV. With that you would have been able to demonstrate, like I just said, at all government levels.”
Sidibe called on President Muhammadu Buhari to ensure that babies are no longer dying from HIV at the end of his tenure.
More than 69% of people living with HIV worldwide live in sub-Saharan Africa.
Just over 3.2% of Nigerians are known to have the HIV virus, however the real infection rate is likely to be far higher as many do not know they have the disease.
Only 21% of those infected with HIV in the country are currently receiving treatment.
