Abstract
The prevalence of HIV/AIDS remains a significant public health issue in Nigeria, particularly among adolescents. A systematic review of existing literature and data from a specific set of schools was conducted. While educational interventions improved awareness, further strategies are needed to enhance behaviour change among adolescents. Schools should integrate peer-led initiatives and community-based support programmes to complement existing curricula.
