On this 10th Anniversary of #ZeroDiscriminationDay we must recall that discrimination against anyone is harmful to the health of everyone. In order to deliver on the promise to end AIDS by 2030, everyone's rights must be protected, respected and fulfilled.

#Nigeria PLHIV Stigma Index Survey: 24.5% of adults aged 35-44 & 21.7% of young adults aged 18-24 have experienced stigma/ discrimination. On this #ZeroDiscriminationDay I call for domestication & effective enforcement of #HIV/AIDS Anti-Discrimination Act by all states in Nigeria
