Lagos State has unveiled its 2025–2027 HIV Strategic Plan through which it is seeking to strengthen prevention, testing, treatment and care while addressing gaps in its HIV response ahead of 2027.

The Chief Executive Officer of the Lagos State AIDS Control Agency (LSACA), Dr Folakemi Animashaun, who unveiled the plan during its dissemination, said the document would guide the coordination of HIV programmes, resources and partnerships across the state and help stakeholders work towards measurable outcomes.

“The Plan provides a clear framework for coordinating HIV programmes, resources and partnerships towards achieving measurable results by 2027,” she said.

Animashaun said Lagos had recorded progress in HIV prevention, testing, treatment and community-based interventions but noted that significant gaps remained.
