    The United States government said it has so far spent over $6 billion in Nigeria’s national HIV/AIDS response through its President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR).

    The country’s embassy which made the disclosure in a statement on Wednesday, to mark the 2021 World AIDS Day said since 2003, the U.S. government, has invested more than $85 billion in the global HIV/AIDS response and saved more than 17 million lives, working in 54 countries.

    The embassy announced some of the achievements of the US in the effort to manage the disease; “Some measures of our success include, more than 1.6 million, women, and children currently on HIV treatment.  In Financial Year 2021 alone: More than 10 million people have received HIV counselling and testing services;   – Approximately 1.5 million pregnant women received HIV testing and counselling toward prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV;- More than 1.6 million people living with HIV received support to improve quality of life, including TB/HIV care services and; – About 850 thousand orphans and vulnerable children received care and support services”.

    Parts of the statement read; “On the occasion of World AIDS Day 2021, the U.S. Mission Nigeria recognizes and honors those we have lost to HIV/AIDS and the resiliency of those who fight for epidemic control in Nigeria.

    “The United States is committed to leading the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic, becoming an arsenal of vaccines for the world, and helping every country build back better.  At the same time, we continue to lead global efforts to end the HIV epidemic.

    “The U.S. government’s theme for World AIDS Day 2021 is “Ending the HIV Epidemic: Equitable Access, Everyone’s Voice.”  This theme reflects the U.S. government’s strong bipartisan commitment to ending the HIV epidemic globally and in the United States.  It further highlights the ongoing efforts of the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) to assist countries in achieving sustained epidemic control of HIV by supporting equitable health services and solutions, enduring national health systems and capabilities, and lasting collaborations.  It also conveys PEPFAR’s deep commitment to ensure that the diverse voices of all affected ages, genders, and population groups are heard and valued in the global AIDS response.

    “While still facing unprecedented challenges including, challenges associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, PEPFAR-supported programs have safely ensured access to HIV services, including core prevention services that were affected by early COVID-19 mitigation measures.  Many of these HIV prevention programs have since expanded significantly, while keeping clients and staff safe from COVID-19.

    “Through PEPFAR, the U.S. government has saved more than 20 million lives, prevented millions of HIV infections, and supported many countries to reach epidemic control of HIV. Globally, PEPFAR has helped replace death and despair with vibrant life and hope, and tragedy with triumph.  According to UNAIDS, AIDS-related deaths have been cut by 64 percent since their peak in 2004, and new HIV infections have been reduced by 52 percent since their peak in 1997.

    “PEPFAR-supported public health, clinical, and laboratory platforms have helped Nigeria to keep Ebola virus disease, H1N1, and other deadly diseases from raging out of control – and are significantly aiding the Nigeria COVID19 response, while advancing the Nigeria HIV/AIDS response”.
