As today marks "Wold Aids Day" Here are Important Epidemiological Information You need to know about HIV/AIDS.

📊 HIV/AIDS in Nigeria: The Facts You Need to Know

👉 The Scale: Nigeria has the largest HIV epidemic in West & Central Africa, with about 1.9 million people living with HIV.

👉 Progress: Over 1.7 million people are now on life-saving treatment, showing major scale-up!

👉 Critical Gaps: Yet, challenges persist:

· Late Diagnosis: 1 in 3 people are diagnosed only when they are already very sick.
· Gender Gap: Women are more affected (1.6% prevalence) than men (1.0%).
· Children: Nigeria still has the world's highest number of new child infections.

👉 Who is Most Affected? Key populations face the highest risk due to stigma and legal barriers:

· 23% of men who have s*x with men
· 16% of s*x workers
· 3.4% of people who inject drugs

👉 The Human Factor: Stigma is a huge barrier—nearly 60% of Nigerians hold discriminatory attitudes, stopping people from testing and treatment.

🤝 What You Can Do Today (And Every Day)

· Get the Facts & Share Them: Knowledge fights stigma. Share this post!
· Wear the Red Ribbon: Show your solidarity.
· Get Tested, Know Your Status: It's the first step to health.
· Show Compassion: Challenge judgmental language. Support people living with HIV.
· Support Local NGOs: They are on the frontlines of care and prevention.

Together, we can overcome disruption and transform the AIDS response.

Dear NAPE Members,

The Nigerian Association of Professional Epidemiologists (NAPE) has been alerted to misleading communications from an entity calling itself the "African Institute of Public Health Professionals" (AIPHP), offering inductions or certifications for Diploma Holders in Epidemiology and Disease Control.

We wish to categorically state that:
1. This institute is NOT recognized by NAPE, the Environmental Health Council of Nigeria (EHCON), or any official public health regulatory body in Nigeria.
2. EHCON remains the ONLY legally recognized regulatory body for the accreditation, certification and Licensing of Diploma programs in Epidemiology and Disease Control in Nigeria.
3. Any certification or induction issued by this unrecognized organization has no legal or professional standing and should be disregarded.

NAPE advises all members and stakeholders to:
✔ Only engage with EHCON-approved programs(ND/HND) for professional certification in Epidemiology and Disease Control.
✔ Report any suspicious or unauthorized certification schemes to the NAPE Secretary

For further clarification, please contact: Me or Secretary general Habib Surajo Gwaram.
Stay vigilant and uphold the integrity of our profession.

Best regards,
Comr. Abubakar I.M Maiyaki
National President
Nigerian Association of Professional Epidemiologists (NAPE)
