No fewer than 120,000 individuals in Lagos State are currently receiving life-saving antiretroviral therapy, with a particular focus on children, adolescents, and other vulnerable groups, according to the Lagos State AIDS Control Agency (LSACA).
Antiretroviral therapy (ART) is a treatment for people infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) using anti-HIV drugs.
Speaking on Monday at a press briefing for a week of activity in commemoration of the 2024 World AIDS Day, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of LSACA, Folakemi Animashaun, noted that the progress with treatment reflects the agency’s strides in the fight against HIV, advancing toward the UNAIDS 95-95-95 targets.
