Although the global community was recently ensnared by COVID-19, an infection caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome, prior to its emergence, HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus), an infection also feared as COVID-19 had been in existence.

The latter was merely more prominent as it killed with speed and in high numbers, which led to a global lockdown including in Nigeria and altered peoples’ normal way of life with preventive measures and protocols.

For instance, a lady; very eloquent, energetic and nice-looking, who was diagnosed HIV-positive about a decade ago, during interactions recently in Calabar, Cross River State, attested to living a normal life despite her status. Not only that she successfully completed her undergraduate programme in a tertiary institution amid the development, with proper medical care, she goes to work freely like any other persons, and fascinatingly, in a serious relationship for marriage.

A critical point that cannot be overemphasized is that HIV/AIDS have claimed millions of lives, and still with no cure. And more critical and alarming is the mother-to-child transmission of HIV mostly through breastfeeding, hence preventive measures essentially for women of reproductive age must be placed on the front burner.
