Making a presentation entitled, “All In! Ending The Epidemic Among Adolescents,” at a workshop on Making Media and People Living With HIV Champions of the Ambitious 90-90-90 Target by 2020, yesterday in Abuja, she said adolescents contribute 70 per cent of AIDS deaths globally, while in Nigeria, adolescents contribute 8 per cent of HIV deaths.
She noted that there are 80 per cent of new infections among adolescents globally, and that HIV is now the second largest contributor to adolescent mortality globally and number one in Africa.
Isiramen noted, “Adolescents are the ones to work with in any new programme, including stemming the tide of HIV infection in Nigeria.”
She added that the workshop was a fast-tracked HIV response to adolescents. Meanwhile, the UNAIDS country director for Nigeria, Dr Bilali Camara, has said that $1.2billion is needed to adequately fund Nigeria’s HIV/AIDS response.
He said that funds allocated for HIV/AIDS are not enough to stop the spread and treat persons living with the virus, adding that this would delay its goal to ensure an HIV/AIDS-free generation.
He disclosed that only half of the $1.2billon required has been made available, with the Nigerian government contributing only 25% of the fund instead of 50%.
