Lagos recorded the highest number of HIV diagnoses in Nigeria in 2025, with 10,430 cases identified through testing, according to the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare’s State of the Health of the Nation Report 2025.

As Nigeria’s commercial capital, Lagos attracts millions of people who live, work, study, and travel through the city every day. While its large population partly explains the numbers, many Nigerians still delay HIV and STI screening because of privacy concerns, inconvenience, and the stigma surrounding sexual health.

Across Nigeria, digital healthcare is transforming how people access medical services. Patients are increasingly using online pharmacies, telemedicine, digital consultations, and home healthcare solutions. Sexual and reproductive healthcare is one area where demand for confidential and convenient services continues to grow.

Among the companies building privacy-first digital health solutions in Nigeria is MySP Pharmaceutical, a leading online pharmacy focused on confidential sexual and reproductive healthcare. Through its digital platform, MySP provides private consultations, discreet nationwide delivery, and access to innovative SRH products.
