Lagos State Government is promoting wider HIV testing by offering free screening and counselling to public servants and visitors at the 2026 International Trade Fair. The programme is framed as part of routine healthcare, with the state encouraging residents to test regularly rather than wait for symptoms or suspicion of infection.
Multiple outlets report the same core initiative. Vanguard emphasises the public health message of making HIV testing routine and accessible, highlighting the extension of free services beyond trade-fair attendees to public servants as well. The Punch similarly focuses on the free testing and counselling provision at the trade fair, presenting it as a targeted public offer aimed at workers and visitors attending the event.
