Background

The 2018 Nigeria AIDS Indicator and Impact Survey (NAIIS) showed that the national HIV prevalence is higher among key populations than in the general population. It is as high as 46% for female sex workers (FSW), 37% for men who have sex with men (MSM) in certain locations, while people who inject drugs (PWID) account for up to 9% of new HIV infections in Nigeria. HIV prevalence among FSW is 15.5%, MSM 25.0%, PWID 10.9% and transgender persons 28.8% (IBBSS 2020). The overall HIV prevalence was 2.8% among people in prison – double that reported in the general population, which is 1.3% (National Assessment of HIV and AIDS and Health Services Situation in Nigerian Prisons, 2018). 

NACA worked with stakeholders providing interventions for Key populations in Nigeria in the development of the national key populations (KP) HIV and STI consolidated service delivery guideline. This guideline is part of government’s efforts and commitment to dealing with the negative societal and programmatic impact of drug use, sex work and same sex practice among men, including driving the sexually transmitted infections and HIV. It underscores and outlines the key service delivery strategies and factors for considerations in key population service delivery (access, acceptability and affordability).
