The National Agency for the Control of AIDS (NACA)
yesterday revealed that about 3,500 male sex workers have
been identified in Abuja, the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
Also worrisome is the fact that over 60 per cent of the men
were married, the agency added.
NACA’s Director-General, Prof. John Idoko, spoke at the
agency’s maiden lecture marking this year’s World AIDS
Day with the theme:Strategies for Ending AIDS in Nigeria by
2030.
Idoko said the agency was working on some areas identified
as hotspots for male sex workers to end the practice adding
that their action could expose their spouses to the
transmission of Human Immuno-Deficiency Virus (HIV).
