World AIDS Day: AHF decries 1.3mn new infections annually

AHF Nigeria has decried the alarming number of new HIV/AIDS infections, saying 1.3 million new infections occur globally each year.

In a statement on Thursday, it announced a commemorative event to mark World AIDS Day 2025 on December 1.

“The commemoration will promote awareness, prevention, testing, and care while showing solidarity with those impacted by HIV/AIDS in the community and beyond,” it said.

World AIDS Day is observed annually on December 1. Despite decades of progress in the fight against HIV, about 40 million people worldwide are living with the virus, with women and girls representing more than half of those affected.

Stigma and discrimination continue to prevent many individuals from accessing essential care, while key populations face significant barriers to treatment.

AHF Nigeria said this World AIDS Day event will highlight these ongoing challenges and reinforce the importance of keeping HIV/AIDS at the forefront of national and global public health efforts.

“Across other AHF Nigeria states, our team shall be on the radio educating the people about HIV/AIDS, particularly about the new developments in treatment,” it said.
