The Perception of People Living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus/Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome toward Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection: A Single-Center Experience.

Background: The prevention and control of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection depend on the prevention of new infections as well as treating currently infected individuals. Adequate knowledge of HIV infection among person living with HIV/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) (PLWHA) may be an important tool in reducing spread of the virus.

Objective: The objective of the study was to evaluate knowledge and attitude of PLWHA on HIV infection.

Within the last three decades, majority of HIV programs in Nigeria were treatment strategies with few prevention approaches. The persistence of HIV prevalence despite the treatment blueprint has led to a concerted call to HIV Prevention Cascade (HPC) theory which ensures continuous sophisticated interrelationship that stretches beyond the biomedical interventions of treatment.
