🩺 HIV 💭 HIV Is Still More Common Than Many People Think When most people hear about HIV today, they often assume it's no longer a major issue. Unfortunately, that's not true. According to recent estimates, over 2 million Nigerians are living with HIV, making Nigeria one of the countries with the largest HIV burdens in the world. What's even more concerning is that new infections are still occurring, especially among young people. 📊 States with the highest number of people living with HIV in Nigeria (2024 Estimates): 🥇 Rivers State — 208,767 🥈 Benue State — 202,346 🥉 Akwa Ibom State — 161,597 4️⃣ Lagos State — 108,649 5️⃣ Anambra State — 100,429 6️⃣ FCT Abuja — 83,333 7️⃣ Delta State — 68,170 8️⃣ Imo State — 67,944 9️⃣ Enugu State — 61,028 🔟 Edo State — 60,095 Many people living with HIV look healthy. Many don't know they have it. That's why awareness, prevention, and testing remain important. The good news? Modern treatment allows many people living with HIV to live long, healthy, productive lives when diagnosed early and managed properly. HIV is not a death sentence. But ignorance can be dangerous. Knowledge. Awareness. Prevention. And ending stigma. These are still some of our strongest tools in the fight against HIV. Because protecting your future starts with protecting your health today. ❤️ #HIVAwareness #HealthEducation
