Why Nigeria has more HIV-positive infants than anywhere else

The video discusses a unique program in Nigeria called 'Baby Shower' aimed at reducing mother-to-child transmission of HIV. The program is integrated into Sunday Mass services, where pregnant women and their partners are invited for health screenings without explicitly mentioning HIV due to stigma. The initiative focuses on testing and treating pregnant women with antiretrovirals to prevent HIV transmission to their babies. Despite global efforts, Nigeria faces significant challenges in combating HIV, with a high rate of mother-to-child transmission. The Baby Shower program, supported by religious leaders, shows promising results in increasing HIV testing and treatment among pregnant women.
