5(b) State three reasons why the eradication of HIV/AIDS is still problematic in Nigeria.
Model answer
1. Stigmatization of people living with HIV/AIDS, causing avoidance of testing/detection. 2. Concealment of identity by people living with HIV/AIDS after learning their status. 3. High incidence of drug addiction in society, which increases risky behaviour. (Other acceptable: problem of human trafficking/forced prostitution and sex slavery; unprotected sex/prostitution; cult initiation practices/blood covenants; ill-equipped medical facilities; poverty leading to promiscuity for economic survival; illiteracy/ignorance.)
