Where To Test

Sexual health clinics in Nigeria

The Nigerian listing is the federal medical research institute in Yaba, Lagos, which runs HIV counselling and testing alongside its virology laboratory and publishes the weekdays its specialist clinics sit. It publishes no prices and no walk-in hours. Same-sex sexual activity is criminalised federally and, in twelve northern states, under sharia law.

Testing

Very little Nigerian sexual health information is published in a form a visitor can act on. The Lagos institute listed here names HIV counselling and testing among its services and publishes its specialist clinic days, each starting at 08:00, but no prices, no walk-in hours and no STI clinic. AHF Nigeria publishes wellness centres in Abuja and Benue, with HIV, chlamydia, gonorrhoea and syphilis testing and post-exposure prophylaxis, but none in Lagos.

Legal & safety

Same-sex sexual activity is criminalised in Nigeria. The Human Dignity Trust records fourteen years' imprisonment under section 214 of the Criminal Code Act, three years for acts described as gross indecency between men under section 217, and fourteen years under the Same Sex Marriage (Prohibition) Act 2013. Sharia law in twelve northern states carries a maximum penalty of death by stoning, and trans people are prosecuted under those laws for gender expression.

City pages carry the local detail: which clinic, which hospital, and what it costs there.

PrEP in Nigeria: none of our listed clinics says it supplies PrEP. It can also be ordered for delivery from PrEP Online.
