In 2018 the UNAIDS in partnership with Global Fund, University of Maryland, Nigeria government and other stakeholders conducted the largest HIV survey in the World known as Nigeria AIDS Indicator and Impact Survey (NAIIS). The result of the survey revealed an improvement in narrative with 1.9 million people living with HIV in Nigeria as opposed to the 3.2 million Nigerians living with HIV reported in 2017.

Recently, the Budget Office and the National Assembly cut 84% from budget for HIV and AIDS treatment. This has raised questions among stakeholders working on HIV, People Living With HIV (PLHIV) and people at risk of contracting HIV and others calling on the government of Nigeria to understand that fighting HIV requires special attention and consistent funding as medical interventions alone are not sufficient to tackle the epidemic.

Efforts to end AIDS must address prevention, treatment and awareness of HIV. This can be achieved with funding from Government and private sectors in the country to  ultimately achieve achieve an HIV free Nigeria by 2030.
