Nigeria is currently behind Lesotho, DR Congo, Cote d'Ivoire, Chad and Angola on the list of the nations of the world with slow declining HIV infection rates.
This was contained in a report entitled "The 2013 Progress Report On the Global Plan Towards
the Elimination of New HIV Infections Among Children by 2015 and
Keeping Their Mothers Alive".
According to the report, Botswana has the most
rapid decline of HIV infection followed by Ethiopia, Ghana, Malawi,
Namibia, South Africa and Zambia.
For Nigeria, the report said the number of HIV
infections among children aged 0-14 and women aged 18-49 has declined
very slowly and the rate of childhood infections with HIV has reduced from 65,000 in 2009 to 60,000 in 2012 representing a decrease of about 8 per cent.
