Nigerians Urged to Share Love, Not HIV on Valentine's Day vanguardngrnews: Nigeria
As Nigeria joins the rest of the world to mark this year's Valentine's Day on February 14, the Director General, of the National Agency for the Control of AIDS, NACA, Dr. Gambo Aliyu, has called on all Nigerians, especially young people, to take advantage of the spirit of love and togetherness that the day signifies, to know their HIV status.
He said that it was expedient for all Nigerians, especially the youths to express love within the context of caring deeply for their loved ones with the intention of protecting them from all forms of harm and avoiding risk factors that will make them vulnerable to HIV/AIDS and other STIs. "This period is observed to witness a high rate of indiscriminate sexual activities and other amoral behaviours that lead to uninformed decisions among many. This development most often than not exposes many people to a high risk of contracting HIV/AIDS and other Sexually Transmitted Infections.
