MARCH 2008 — Leveraging Nigerians' love for soccer, the country's National Agency for the Control of AIDS, FHI/Nigeria's GHAIN project took advantage of the recent Africa Cup of Nations to promote HIV prevention. Through public service announcements aired during soccer matches and information disseminated at large gatherings, Nigerians engaged in dialogue with each other and learn about HIV prevention.
MARCH 2008 — FHI is strengthening the capacity of State Action Committees on AIDS and the State Ministries of Health in six Nigerian states to coordinate and implement effective use of the District Health Information System (DHIS) software for data capture, analysis, and reporting. Nigeria's Federal Ministry of Health adopted DHIS software as its health management information system in October 2006, and since then has greatly improved the accurate collection, storage, and sharing of health data in the country. 
MARCH 2008 — By last Fall, GHAIN-supported facilities and implementing agencies had counseled and tested over 1 million people, 25 percent of the total counseled and tested in Nigeria and an achievement that came two years earlier than targeted. Like many thousands of Nigerians, Ubaka Jones Nwabuokei is successfully challenging the rejection, stigma, and discrimination that often result when they reveal their HIV-positive status to those closest to them. "Being HIV-positive is not at all the end of life," he advises.
