Nigeria launches new AIDS policy.
A new national policy on HIV/AIDS in Nigeria prohibits mandatory HIV/AIDS testing and addresses a number of other human rights and ethical issues. Activists welcome the new policy, but they point out that it is not legally enforceable. What is needed, they say, is for the government to introduce anti-discrimination legislation.
