The Nigeria Business Coalition Against AIDS (NIBUCAA) and HACEY Health Initiative with the support of Access Bank Plc join forces to leverage on the yearly held global event and are targeting to reach at least 2,600 people including athletes and communities along the race path.

The Executive Secretary, NiBUCCA, Gbenga Alabi also explained that the exercise seeks to promote HIV prevention messages to over 1 million Nigerians via online and physical activities during the Access Bank marathon as well as help provide a case study for private sector leadership to end HIV/AIDS in Nigeria.

In his words, “significant progress has been made in the AIDS response since 1988, and today three in four people living with HIV know their status. But we still have miles to go, as the latest UNAIDS report shows, and that includes reaching people living with HIV who do not know their status and ensuring that they are linked to quality care and prevention services.”

Also speaking on the HIV sensitization campaign, Isaiah Owolabi, Project Director, HACEY Health Initiative, noted that its health officials and volunteers will also make referrals and follow-up of up to 100% population of beneficiaries in need of it.

Nigeria has the second largest HIV epidemic in the world, with 3.4 million people living with HIV in the country in 2014. However, with increased investment in the AIDS response from Nigeria and its partners, the situation has improved in the past decade. New HIV infections dropped from 310 000 in 2004 to 230 000 in 2014, and coverage of antiretroviral therapy increased from 13% in 2011 to 22% in 2014, providing more than 747 000 people living with HIV with access to life-saving medicine. The UNAIDS recommend that HIV prevention efforts must be reinvigorated if the world is to stay on the Fast-Track to ending the AIDS epidemic by 2030.

The UNAIDS Prevention gap report shows that worldwide an estimated 1.9 million adults have become infected with HIV every year for at least the past five years and that the number of new HIV infections is rising in some regions.

"HIV testing is essential for expanding treatment and ensuring that all people living with HIV can lead healthy and productive lives. It is also crucial to achieving the 90–90–90 targets and empowering people to make choices about HIV prevention so they can protect themselves and their loved ones. Unfortunately, many barriers to HIV testing remain. Stigma and discrimination still deters people from taking an HIV test. Access to confidential HIV testing is still an issue of concern. Many people still only get tested after becoming ill and symptomatic," Omobolanle Victor-Laniyan, Head of Sustainability at Access Bank Plc added

A coalition has partnered to promote messages on HIV prevention, provide HIV counselling, testing and referrals to participants at this year’s Access Bank Marathon.

Smokey eye makeup is classic so re-creating it in different colors and shades makes for more options and looks. Choose grayish silver eyeshadow for a more dramatic classic smokey eye and a lighter shade if you want to create a more toned down smokey eye look.

Fashion Tips To Make You Taller

In 1915, Harper's Bazaar

''Dress shabbily and they remember the dress; dress impeccably
 and they remember the woman''

''Fashion is not simply a matter of clothes.
 Fashion is in the air, born upon the wind. One
 intuits it. It is in the sky and on the road''

''A woman who doesn't wear perfume

''I don't understand how a woman can leave the house without
 fixing herself up a little - if only out of politeness. And then,
 you never know, maybe that's the day she has a date with destiny.
 And it's best to be as pretty as possible for destiny''

''Elegance does not consist in putting on a new dress''

'' A fashion that does not reach the streets is not a
 fashion''

''My reason for choosing diamonds
