Very little information is available on the extent to which the private health sector is involved in clinical management of HIV/AIDS in Nigeria. This study assessed the potentials and existing capacity of 15 private health facilities in Nassarawa state for clinical management of HIV/AIDS. Information was obtained from 25 staff (15 proprietors and 10 professionals) of the randomly selected health facilities in the state using structured questionnaire. Of the 15 health facilities, three provided voluntary counselling and testing (VCT), seven had never admitted persons living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA), two provided laboratory services, none provided home-based care for PLWHAs, two had anti-retro-viral drugs in stock, two had rooms for counselling, three had full-time doctors, and six had registered nurses. Of the 25 health workers, 5 had skills/training in conducting VCT, 15 had skills in the treatment of opportunistic infections, 14 were aware of anti-retro-viral drugs and 13 did not feel comfortable attending to PLWHAs. The study recommended capacity building on HIV/AIDS related services for the private health-workers.
关于尼日利亚私立卫生部门参与艾滋病毒/艾滋病临床管理的程度，现有信息非常少。本研究评估了纳萨拉瓦州15家私立医疗机构进行艾滋病毒/艾滋病临床管理的潜力和现有能力。通过使用结构化问卷，从该州随机选择的医疗机构的25名工作人员（15名业主和10名专业人员）那里获取了信息。在这15家医疗机构中，有3家提供自愿咨询和检测（VCT），7家从未收治过艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染者（PLWHA），2家提供实验室服务，没有一家为艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染者提供居家护理，2家有抗逆转录病毒药物库存，2家有咨询室，3家有全职医生，6家有注册护士。在这25名卫生工作者中，5人具备进行自愿咨询和检测的技能/培训，15人具备治疗机会性感染的技能，14人了解抗逆转录病毒药物，13人对护理艾滋病毒/艾滋病感染者感到不自在。该研究建议为私立卫生工作者开展与艾滋病毒/艾滋病相关服务的能力建设。
