AKWA IBOM STATE GOVERNMENT COMMENCES THE ANTI-RETROVIRAL THERAPY (ART) IMPACT SURVEY ACROSS THE 31 LGAs IN AKWA IBOM STATE

The Akwa Ibom State government has launched the Nigeria State-level Anti-Retroviral Therapy (ART) Impact Survey across all 31 local government areas. This survey, conducted from August to September, is supported by the Federal Government and international partners, including PEPFAR and PHIS3. The aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of HIV programs in the state, focusing on improving the well-being of the population.

According to the Commissioner for Health, Prof. Augustine Umoh, the survey will target 3,000 households and involve approximately 5,346 individuals aged 15-64. Participants will be interviewed and tested to determine the proportion of people living with HIV who are receiving ART and to assess the percentage of those on treatment whose viral loads have been suppressed, preventing further transmission.

The Akwa Ibom State Agency for the Control of AIDS (AKSACA) plays a crucial role in this initiative. AKSACA is responsible for coordinating the survey's ex*****on, mobilizing resources, and ensuring public awareness and participation. The agency's involvement is vital for translating survey data into actionable strategies, addressing gaps in HIV services, and enhancing the quality and accessibility of treatment and care in the state.

The data collected will inform health policies and strategies aimed at strengthening the health system and supporting individuals living with HIV. Prof. Umoh emphasized that the survey's ultimate goal is to control and end the HIV epidemic in Akwa Ibom State.

He urged residents to cooperate with the survey teams, highlighting that community participation is key to the success of this critical public health exercise.
