The Nigerian HIV/AIDs Indicator and Impact Survey (NAIIS) has shown that Akwa Ibom has the highest prevalence rate of HIV in the country.

The result indicates that about 5.5 per cent of the people living with HIV in Nigeria are in Akwa Ibom State, followed by Benue State, which has about 5.3 per cent prevalence rate.

It also states that while the North-West has the lowest prevalence rate at 0.6 per cent, the South-South geopolitical zone has the highest with 3.1 per cent.

Speaking during the announcement of the NAIIS result on Thursday, the Director General of the National Agency for the Control of AIDs (NACA), Sani Aliyu, said about 1.9 million Nigerians are currently living with HIV.

The event was held at the Banquet Hall of the State House in Abuja.

He said the percentage of People Living with HIV (PLHIV) in Nigeria, among the age group of 15-49 years, is 1.4 per cent (1.9 per cent among females and 0.9 per cent among males.)

Akwa Ibom has won the league 3 times consecutive year in year out. I hope hunchogee aka ilauma aka akpanikpan is reading this report? The hyper of akwa ibom state. Mtcheeew

I think Benue should be the number 1 on that list. Those guys are free givers (mostly raw)

As for the North West, me I don't believe they have the lowest rate of people living with HIV
Everyone knows that Hausa people hardly go for medical test. They will rather just self medicate

Akwa ibom ayaya, so Benue has been displaced as a leading team in the league.
