Objectives: Evidence indicates that people living with HIV (PLHIV) are more impacted by COVID-19. The burden of SARS-CoV-2 infection among PLHIV is unknown in Nigeria.
Methods: We conducted repeated cross-sectional SARS-CoV-2 serosurveys in 14 states and the Federal Capital Territory in Nigeria among PLHIV who had an HIV viral load (VL) test during April 2022 to January 2023.
Background: We investigated coronavirus disease 2109 (COVID-19) vaccine uptake and determinants among people living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLHIV) in Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Nigeria.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study among PLHIV attending antiretroviral therapy clinics in FCT, Nigeria. We utilized an interviewer-administered, semi-structured questionnaire to collect data on COVID-19 vaccine uptake.
Article Synopsis
- The study reports the genome of a novel strain of Klebsiella pneumoniae (Cow102) isolated from raw cow milk in Nigeria, highlighting its potential food safety risks due to multidrug resistance and virulence factors.
- The genome length is over 5.3 million base pairs with various coding sequences, and it shows a new allelic profile (ST6914), indicating ongoing evolution within the species.
- The findings emphasize the need for genomic surveillance in agricultural settings to monitor emerging strains that could pose public health threats.
Antibiotic resistant bacteria and antibiotic resistance genes as contaminants of emerging concern: Occurrences, impacts, mitigations and future guidelines.

Article Synopsis
- Antibiotic resistance, fueled by the spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARBs), is a major global health issue linked to the overuse of antibiotics in medicine and agriculture.
- The environmental presence of ARGs, especially in places like municipal water and hospitals, poses serious health risks as they can be transferred to pathogens that affect humans.
- Current strategies to reduce ARGs and ARBs, while promising, face challenges, and future efforts should focus on better monitoring, international teamwork, and innovative solutions, including combination therapies and advanced oxidation techniques.
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) remains a global public health menace, and studies have suggested variations across demographic characteristics. This study attempted to characterize the gender and locational variations in the spread and control of HIV among adult Persons Living with HIV (PLHIV) to identify the clustering of PLHIV in Nigeria. We conducted an ecological analysis of data from the 2018 Nigeria HIV/AIDS Indicator and Impact Survey (NAIIS) report.
