According to recent figures from UNAIDS (United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS), there are an estimated 2,600,000 people living in Nigeria with HIV/AIDS.

Young people have been identified as being one of the most vulnerable social groups at risk of infection so it is vital that they are equipped with the knowledge and skills to prevent infection.

The students at Community Secondary School Ebe have been studying about HIV/AIDS and finding out what is being done in rural and urban areas of Nigeria to reduce the number of new infections.
