Sad to write based on a warning from various doctors across Nigeria who have come alive to sound a warning to Nigerians letting them know about the HIV surge across the West African country

According to the report, a Nigerian female doctor has raised serious concerns over the recent surge in HIV cases states in Nigeria.

Speaking out to newsmen, she said, “This is advice from me as a practicing doctor here in Nigeria to you: Please if you’re in any sexual relationship with anyone, please go to the hospital as you are reading or watching this video and request a test for HIV.” She added, “The rate of HIV now in Nigeria is overwhelming.” Records are increasing daily and society needs to know these so those who care can stay safe. Remain faithful to your partner.

According to her, she recently attended a symposium organized exclusively for doctors. At the event, an NGO that conducts HIV screenings presented recent data collected from hospitals and health centers across the country.

Each hospital submitted its records of HIV-positive patients, and the results were alarming. She recalled that the prevalence rate was around 5% in 2020, but it has now reportedly skyrocketed to over 75% in early year 2025.

Is a sad finding as she says “This” suggests, she emphasized, that approximately one in every ten people may now be living with HIV in some states like Abuja and Lagos Nigeria. Statistics, she said, indicate that the highest rates are found in Lagos and Abuja.

In her words, “Sometimes, protection doesn’t help. I don’t want to go into detail, but the whole essence of this video is that, if you’re in a sexual relationship with someone, it doesn’t matter if the person is your husband, it doesn’t matter if the person is your wife.

Please go for an HIV test now, know your status, and stay safe to live as well as help protect our community.

Imagine some married men and women who are cheating with their partner at a time like this when the HIV surge is high across the country. Just imagine that

Let’s say your husband could have side chicks and society says it is a normal thing, if your wife could have side niggas, your girlfriend could have other boyfriends, your boyfriend could have other girlfriends — you know, I will just advise you to carry two legs and go to the nearest laboratory and test for HIV.

It’s better to know early, to know if you have it or not. And if you do not have it, be more careful because it is rampant and it’s spreading rapidly. I am telling you that it is very bad. That symposium was something where the figures they gave were built on evidence.”

HIV Surge In Nigeria As Doctors Sound Alarm

Continuing, she urged, “So please, it doesn’t matter if you’re married, engaged, or single. You don’t know what your husband is doing, you don’t know what your wife is doing. You only know yourself — you don’t know what your partner is doing.

You can’t know them too well like that. And even if you know them, this is something that should be done every six months. Yes each of every six months you are supposed to go for an HIV test, please go to the nearest laboratory, go and test for HIV…”

She encouraged viewers to watch the full video attached to this post and take her advice seriously. Recounting more of what she learned, she said there had been about a 50% increase in HIV cases from the previous year when compared to this year.

In her closing remarks, she stressed: “Before entering any sexual relationship with any person, please always go for an HIV test. Sometimes, protection may fail in preventing HIV transmission, some evidence has proof that protection is not 100% so we need to be extremely careful.” Go for an HIV test, know your status, and stay safe with your partner.
