The National AIDS, Sexually Transmitted Infections Control and Hepatitis Programme (NASCP) is a division of the Department of Public Health, in the Nigeria Federal Ministry of Health (FMH). The concept of NASCP and its mandate is to coordinate the formulation and effective implementation of the Nigeria government policies, guidelines and standard operating procedures for the prevention of new HIV infections as well as improve on the existing treatment, care and support for those persons already infected and affected by the virus in the country.

Job Title: Consultant for HIV Drug Resistance Testing

Location: Abuja, Nigeria

Background

  • As the number of patients experiencing treatment failure rises, drug resistance in HIV management is becoming an emerging problem in Nigeria's National ART program.
  • A committee of expert clinicians from the National Task Team on ART (NTTA) was formed to provide guidance and technical support to clinicians managing patients who were failing on 2nd-line ARVs. However, the cost of conducting Drug Resistance Test (DRT) is prohibitively expensive for most patients.

  • Given the foregoing, there is a need to reach out to these patients and determine whether or not they are actually failing on second-line ARVs by collecting blood samples from them and conduct a genotypic resistance testing.
  • Global fund gave approval for the DRT to be conducted free (at no cost) for these patients to determine treatment failure and to engage consultants to coordinate the process.
  • Purpose In light of the foregoing, the National AIDS/STIs Control Programme (NASCP) issued a Rapid Advice on the management of patients failing second-line ARVs; however, direct implementation of this Advice by clinicians remains sub-optimal, resulting in low uptake of third-line drugs.
