Taking to its verified Twitter handle, the U.S. Mission Nigeria @USEmbassyAbuja on Monday, commended the formal unveiling of the NAIIS. In order to measure the impact of current interventions, the survey measured the uptake of HIV testing, care and treatment services and viral suppression among HIV-positive persons undergoing treatment.
