End of Twitter post, 1 Dr. Idris Baba, one of di HIV and AIDS sabi person with Unicef say di main reason why young people infection dey increase for Nigeria, na because all di HIV programme dem wey dey di country now, no dey friendly for dem at all. Di country get plenty programmes wey dey for small children and mature people wey get HIV, but as e be say teenagers no dey di group of children or adult, dis group of people dey suffer from stigmatisation. HIV facilities, dat na special clinics wey dem create for people with HIV, no dey adolescence friendly or youth friendly. When youths try go dis kind facilities, di adult workers wey dey work there dey usually harass dem with questions like, "wetin carry you come here?" "Wetin you wan carry condom do?"
