The National Agency for the Control of AIDS (NACA) has called on Nigerians to go for HIV test ahead of the 2017 valentine day celebrations.
The agency in a statement on Saturday, encouraged Nigerians to avoid engaging in risky behaviours especially during Valentine’s Day celebrations.
The body added that people should rather share and show love responsibly, saying it was the only way of halting and reversing the spread of HIV in Nigeria.
"Beyond the sweet words and exchange of gifts, it is important that young people in particular are equipped with all the information they need to ensure that Valentine’s Day is celebrated by showing love to those we care about in a safe and responsible manner.
"As we celebrate love, we should remember that safe sex is not just about protecting ourselves, but also protecting those we love," the statement noted.
