The Lagos State AIDS Control Agency (LSACA), has launched a statewide free HIV testing campaign across all Local Government Areas (LGAs), and Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs), running from November 18 to December 1, 2025.<\/p>\n
The initiative forms part of activities for the 2025 World AIDS Day, aiming to promote early diagnosis, expand testing access, and strengthen linkage to care.<\/p>\n
LSACA announced on Tuesday via X that the campaign seeks to close testing gaps and raise community awareness on HIV prevention, management, and stigma reduction. Trained counsellors, testing kits, condoms, and educational materials have been deployed to facilitate the exercise.<\/p>\n
Dr. Folakemi Animashaun, LSACA\u2019s CEO, stressed that early testing is critical for public health and assures residents of safe, confidential, and accessible services.<\/p>\n
The agency is partnering with community-based organisations to reach underserved areas.<\/p>\n
Residents are urged to visit designated testing points and know their HIV status, a key step toward achieving an HIV-free generation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
