The Hepatitis B vaccine is now part of Nigeria's National Immunization Programme (NPI). As for HPV, it seems that it may be available but is simply too expensive for many Nigerians. In 2015, it was reported that Nigeria was eligible for the HPV Demo Programme, which would provide reduced-cost access, but it's unclear if anything came of this. Concerning HIV, Nigeria provides HIV/AIDS medications/treatment and antiretrovirals are available. Currently, there is also a PreP demonstration project Plateau, Edo and Cross River State (late 2015-late 2017). But Truvada is only registered for treatment -- not prevention. | The Hepatitis B vaccine is now part of Nigeria's National Immunization Programme (NPI).
