Expert reveals why Abuja residents stand highest risk of contacting HIV/AIDS in Nigeria

He said “That means all of us in FCT are at a very high risk,”

“From our research, we found out that those that are not bosses in their place of work come from either Maraba, Mpape or other areas. And these bosses tend to keep sexual relationships with their secretaries who reside in Kubwa and Maraba, amongst others.”The secretaries, in turn, go back home to have sex with their boyfriends who are positive and return to have sex with the boss. The boss also goes home to infect his wife and his wife, in turn, infects her young lover and it keeps spreading,” Mr. Ugwocha said.

Speaking on the treatment of the disease, he said more people are now on treatment than the newly infected ones.
