1) I have been selected to apply for the position and no going back.In my country HIV/AIDS have caused many socio-economic problems such as reduced life expectancy.There has been an exponential increase in the national prevalence of HIV/AIDS in Nigeria in the past years,from 3.8% in 1993 to 5.4% in 1999*.It is estimated that 2.7 million Nigerians in the age bracket of 15-46 are currently infected .Nigerian now ranked second in sub-saharan Africa for the number of HIV infected youths and adults*.Also because of my great commitment towards helting the progression of HIV/AIDS infection in my community and believe that to progress is not just in preventing the infection but ensuring the well being of those people already living with the virus.
2)By organising an effective social enlightenment and grassroot mobilization campaign with the youths of my community and educating them on how to manage and care for the infected ones,because I believe ignorance is one of the major problem of the youths in my community.

3)My experiences with HIV/AIDS is better felt situation than explanation.I have been hit and have encountered by this scourge of our generation that my sister orphaned her children for this course.I have organised and attended workshops and seminars on HIV/AIDS and trained to advocate and counsel people living with this virus.However my experience confirms that although Nigerians benefits from a strong network that encourages the extended family to supprot and care for PLWHA,care givers and youths lack the knowledge,skills and financial means to provide the support that the people living with HIV/AIDS needs.

4)HIV/AIDS have caused us more than enough problems and affected me socailly and economically wise.It has increased our burden of medical care ,a declined in our economic growth and a reduced life expectancy.The spread of HIV/AIDS has also caused and lead to an increased numbers of Orphans and vulnerable Children in my house,community and country,these children suffer negative pschological and physical effects.Should we allow the epidemic spread we will be left with a blanck future.Thank you
