 There is the need to scale up rapid self-testing to increase the knowledge of HIV status, care and treatment among Nigerians. A group, African Network of Adolescents and Young Persons Development, which laments that only one out of five young people knows the HIV status, believes that self-testing kids remove the barriers or the apathy exhibited by traditional testing services. The director of the group, Erin Sunday, says, Adolescents and Young People, AYP, are usually underserved by traditional HIV testing services in Nigeria, due to fear of perceived stigma and inadequate friendly service facilities. While explaining their HIV self-testing Africa initiative, tagged Star 3 Project, Sunday said it will ultimately reduce mortality and morbidity. The target of the Star 3 Project is to oversee distribution of 30,000 HIV self-testing kids among priority groups of persons aged between 15 and 24 years across five local government areas in Lagos state. The Project Explore solution to the problem of low testing rates among youth studies and statistics shows that understanding the peculiarities of adolescents and young people will employ primarily a peer-to-peer-led approach, AYP switching their peers with HIV and HIV self-testing information. This is because young people find it easier to confide in their peers and they believe that their peers understand their struggle better than older adults. This approach is considered from two perspectives, the online and offline component. This is to engage a wider demographic of youth in their diversities. I'd like to use this opportunity to say to the government, the partners and other stakeholders that they should look at involving and engaging other young people on projects like this, especially when it is something that is about them, that concerns their well-being, their health. It's not just enough to design projects for us. We can do projects for ourselves, like we can get involved in projects for ourselves because we understand our pains, we understand what we need, we understand how we can reach other young people as ourselves, we understand our best to talk to ourselves. Actually, while working with the online study program, I've already experienced a lot about relating with my peers, my fellow peers, and building their confidence to do their HIV self-testing without having any fear of stigmatisation and not also counselling them more on HIV self-testing to tell their friends and fellow ones to know their HIV status and to be sure that they are free from AIDS. Thank you.
