The Nigerian Ministry of Defence-Walter Reed Army Institute of Research partnership was established in 2004 in response to the growing HIV/AIDS epidemic in Nigeria.

Hiv
American actor Charlie Sheen recently announced on a television chat show that he was living with HIV, which has got some media coverage. And led to this blog post.When I started working in health libraries in 1986, AIDS was a very current topic. I remember hearing ideas about who was most at risk, and what some people said definitely conveyed the idea that it was a condition that affected gay men, and not anyone else. I also remember learning about Edinburgh, where I had just moved from, that the group most affected there was not that group at all. Richard Holloway, who became Bishop of Edinb...

Three Ways to End HIV Stigma and Discrimination
By Ifeanyi NsoforABUJA, Oct 7 2019 (IPS) As a Public Health Doctor, I often meet people who experience stigma simply because they live with HIV. One person who still haunts me is a woman who is HIV positive and when she was in labor, a midwife would not help her. Instead she shouted at her to just push out the baby and then she stood far away from the bedside, disgusted by the woman’s HIV status. No one should go through such stigma at a vulnerable situation when they are about to birth life.
Another lady I met was denied university admission because she is HIV positive. She was screened for HIV without her consent, ...
