Globally, the HIV/AIDS pandemic is on the decline following concerted efforts by international agencies including National Agency for the Control of HIV/AIDS (NACA) to fight the deadly disease. New cases of HIV infection have significantly dropped as a result of medical breakthrough, increased awareness and the need to take precautionary measures to check its resurgence.
Despite efforts aimed at reducing the HIV/AID pandemic, the issue of stigmatisation and discrimination against People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) has continued to constitute a clog in the war against the disease. In Africa, including Nigeria, there is visible discrimination and stigmatisation of PLWHA which leaves such victims psychologically depressed with a feeling of alienation and worthlessness.
