Access Holdings Plc has partnered with the Nigerian Business Coalition Against AIDS to provide free HIV testing to over 2,000 participants at the Access Bank Lagos City Marathon 2025 to promote public health and reduce the spread of HIV/AIDS in the country.
The initiative, which took place recently in Lagos also sensitised more than 3,000 individuals on HIV prevention and distributed over 2,000 educational materials and condoms to participants.
Esther Graham, a member of Access Holdings’ Sustainability Team, stated thus:
“The initiative was necessary for private-sector collaboration in tackling Nigeria’s HIV crisis”.
“It has never been more important to have programmes and collaborations like this, and Access Holdings is proud to be a part of this initiative”
“With Nigeria having one of the highest HIV/AIDS burdens in Sub-Saharan Africa, it is vital that we take decisive actions to create awareness and give access to free HIV/AIDS testing services.”
