HIV/AIDS: Driving out Ignorance and its prices

At Pharma-Guide Nigeria, we begin our series of advocacy posts on Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) in a bid to drive out the syndromes of HIV-ignorance among our people.

We realize that the lack of knowledge about the disease pattern continues to challenge efforts daily made to check the spread of this disease.

Ignorance has led to stigmatization against infected persons and worst still, self-stigmatization has led to poor compliance to medications and hence an increase in mortality. It is within the arms of ignorance that HIV/AIDS as a disease becomes a person's worst nightmare.

We invite our readers to send in questions to pharmaguidenigeria@gmail.com, or comment under our posts and be sure to get answers and their identity and information will be kept confidential. Also follow us on Twitter @pharmaguidengr and on Facebook.com/pharmaguidenigeria

There are so many discoveries, health and drug information as well as hopeful stories to share about HIV/AIDS Disease, please be a part of this.
