UNAIDS SOLICITS $29 BILLION FUND FOR NIGERIA, OTHER LOW-INCOME COUNTRIES TO END
HIV EPIDEMIC  

by Chioma Chukwunedu

Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Linkedin


The Joint United Nations Programme on AIDS (UNAIDS) has solicited for an
increase in annual investments in HIV responses to $29 billion for Nigeria and
other low- and middle-income countries to end the HIV epidemic.  

This call to action comes from the 2024 Global AIDS Report, which highlights the
urgent need for increased funding to combat the HIV/AIDS epidemic effectively.  

The report emphasizes that fully funding the HIV response is crucial for
achieving the goal of ending AIDS as a public health threat by 2030.

GILEAD PARTNERS GENERIC DRUG MANUFACTURERS TO PROVIDE HIV PREVENTION DRUG IN
NIGERIA, OTHERS

October 2, 2024



Reports show that approximately 1.9 million people in Nigeria are living with
HIV.  



THE NEED FOR FUNDING 

UNAIDS Executive Director Winnie Byanyima highlighted that the current funding
levels are insufficient to sustain and accelerate progress.  



The report identifies that an annual investment of $29 billion is needed to
scale up prevention and treatment services, address inequalities, and strengthen
health systems.  

 * According to the report, the investment is not only a moral imperative but
   also a smart economic choice, with the potential to generate substantial
   health, social, and economic returns. 

 * The report also points out that the HIV response has stalled in many parts of
   the world due to weak political will, social conservatism, insufficient
   funding, and persistent stigma and discrimination.  

 * These barriers prevent key populations, including sex workers, men who have
   sex with men, and transgender people, from accessing the services they
   need.  

 * Consequently, there has been little progress in reducing HIV incidence among
   these groups. 

THE CURRENT STATE OF HIV EPIDEMIC IN NIGERIA 

According to Dr. Tunji Alausa, minister of state for Health in Nigeria, over 1.6
million individuals are receiving antiretroviral therapy (ART), representing
more than 90% of those diagnosed with the virus. 

Despite these achievements, Nigeria still grapples with a high burden of
pediatric HIV.  




The National coordinator for the National AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, and STIs
control program, Dr. Adebobola Bashorun, estimated that around 159,923 children
aged 0-14 years were living with HIV, with only 32% of them receiving treatment
in 2022.  

This makes Nigeria one of the countries with the highest pediatric HIV burden
globally.  

Some of the key challenges affecting the spread of HIV in Nigeria include:   


 * Nigeria has the highest number of annual HIV infections among children
   worldwide, accounting for 14% of the global total.  

 * Efforts to reduce mother-to-child transmission have seen limited success,
   with a reduction of only 15% between 2010 and 2020, compared to 70% in
   countries like South Africa and Uganda.  

 * Women and girls are disproportionately affected by HIV in Nigeria, driven by
   entrenched gender inequalities.  

 * In 2021, 1.6% of women were living with HIV compared to 1% of men. Young
   women aged 15-24 are particularly vulnerable, with significantly higher
   infection rates than their male counterparts. 

However, Nigeria has been supported by international donors, with the U.S.
President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) playing a critical role.  


 * Over the past two decades, PEPFAR has invested $8.3 billion in HIV and
   tuberculosis prevention, care, and treatment in Nigeria, significantly
   strengthening the country’s public health system. 

 * Additionally, initiatives like the CDC’s HIV Anti-Retroviral Therapy (ART)
   Surge in high-burden states and the DELTA2 project focus on providing
   technical assistance and capacity building.  

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW 

The report, titled “The Urgency of Now: AIDS at a Crossroads,” indicates
significant progress in the fight against HIV but also highlights the ongoing
challenges.  

As of 2023, 39.9 million people were living with HIV globally, with 1.3 million
new infections and 630,000 AIDS-related deaths in that year alone.  

The majority of those affected are in sub-Saharan Africa, where HIV continues to
have a devastating impact.  



Despite these challenges, there have been notable successes. For instance,
countries like Botswana, Eswatini, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Zimbabwe have achieved
the “95-95-95” targets.  

This means 95% of people living with HIV know their status, 95% of those who
know their status are on antiretroviral treatment, and 95% of those on treatment
have achieved viral suppression.
