Abstract

Ogboi Sonny Johnbull

Human immune deficiency virus (HIV) and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS)-HIV/AIDS is a moral and medical problem that require a moral and medical solution without compromising the innocent and without sacrificing our civil liberties at the rural communities in Nigeria. Therefore, everybody (traditional rulers, churches, mosques, schools, farmers etc) have some roles to play which must be unyielding in principle and compassionate in practice that can stem down the spread of HIV at the rural communities
