Executive Secretary of Borno Agency for the Control of HIV/AIDS (BOSACA) Barkindo Saidu has said 512 new cases of the Human Immuno-Deficiency Virus (HIV) have been recorded in Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) camps in the state.
Saidu, who addressed reporters yesterday, said the cases were recorded after voluntary screening conducted in some IDPs’ camps.
Of the 512 cases, two are children, he noted.
“We are currently conducting voluntary HIV/AIDS screening in IDPs’ camps to determine the people’s status, especially those rescued from Boko Haram terrorists.
“As at last week, we have recorded 512 positive cases, among which two are children.
“Currently, 2.4 per cent of the state population are living with HIV/AIDS, which translates to 108,000 persons, going by the record of the National Population Commission, Saidu said.
