HIV Cases in Lagos Reach Highest in Nigeria: Why More People Are Choosing Private STI Screening

If you live in Lagos—or visit the city often—this is worth your attention.
According to the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare’s State of the Health of the Nation Report 2025, Lagos recorded the highest number of HIV diagnoses in Nigeria in 2025, with 10,430 cases documented through testing.
As Nigeria’s commercial hub, Lagos sees millions of people living, working, and connecting every day. But another factor is also driving these numbers: many people still delay HIV and STI screening because of inconvenience, privacy concerns, or fear of stigma.
That’s why more people are choosing private STI screening.
