Data was collected using a structured questionnaire, where a total of 370 randomly selected PLWHA adult from the age of 18 years and above attending clinic at Specialist Hospital Yola participated in this study.

The results indicate that most of the respondents were well informed (78.2%) about basic issues in HIV.
