In Abuja on Thursday, UNAIDS
Executive Director Michel Sidibe said he believes Nigeria can end
mother-to-child HIV transmission by 2015.
“I want you to continue to advocate
for Nigeria and Africa and through the governors’ wives to prevent HIV in the
states, to increase the budget to make sure that we have a strong primary
health care service for pregnant women to have access to these services,” said
Sidibe, who led a UNAIDS delegation to meet with Nigeria’s first lady, Patience
Jonathan.
