Nigeria has joined seven other African countries in the Brilliant Consortium, a collaborative initiative focused on developing HIV vaccines in sub-Saharan Africa. South Africa, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Zambia, and Mozambique are participating in this significant research effort. In Nigeria, the initiative is led by the Institute of Human Virology Nigeria (IHVN) with support from the National Agency for the Control of AIDS (NACA), USAID and other international partners. At an event in Abuja, the Director-General of NACA, Dr. Temitope Ilori, said though current prevention measures were yielding results, a vaccine was essential to achieving lasting solution.
