Abstract
Nigeria’s widespread mixed epidemiology HIV program has achieved a 26% reduction in new infections since 2010. New HIV infections in Nigeria remain higher in key populations, adolescent girls and young women. Treatment as prevention was a relatively new concept in Nigeria in 2016, with U=U adopted and launched in 2019 by the Federal Ministry of Health. This paper provides justification on why a sustained focus on U=U campaigns in Nigeria will contribute to the successes of the Nigerian HIV program, improving the possibility of HIV epidemic control and attaining equitable health outcomes for all sub populations in Nigeria.
