The NACA boss stated this during the national dialogue on effective implementation and post 2015 development agenda in Abuja.
He said Nigeria as a country has seen remarkable reduction in new infections, significant reduction in the elimination of mother to child transmission, and use of treatment as prevention.

Statement from the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation Regarding the Launch of the Accelerating Children's HIV/AIDS Treatment Initiative
WASHINGTON, Aug. 6, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation (EGPAF) welcomes today's launch of the Accelerating Children's HIV/AIDS Treatment (ACT) initiative, which was announced during the U.S.-Africa Leaders Summit. The new partnership between the U.S. President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and the Children's Investment Fund Foundation (CIFF) is a critical step toward ending AIDS in children.
ACT is an ambitious $200 million initiative to double the number of children receiving lifesaving antiretroviral therapy (ART) across 10 priority African countries over the next two years. This new initiative will enable 300,000 more children to receive ART.

"[ART] has led to a dramatic decrease in AIDS-related morbidity and mortality through sustained suppression of HIV replication and reconstitution of the immune response," researchers wrote in Clinical Infectious Diseases. "However, the eventual development of HIV drug resistance over time is largely inevitable at the population level, and is one of the strongest predictors of treatment failure."

The first time they met was at the International Conference on AIDS two summers ago in Washington, D.C., and Kathryn Mercado was convinced she would not get along with Kimberly Ramirez, based on what she now admits was "a schoolyard crush in the making."
They met again last September at the United States Conference on AIDS, held in New Orleans, Louisiana—specifically, the National Latino AIDS Action Network ( NLAAN ) reception—and Ramirez was a part of the hosting committee for the event.
