The Lagos Gov. is offering free and private HIV check ups and advice to government workers and anyone visiting the International Trade Fair.
The programme is run by the Lagos State AIDS Control Agency (LSACA) and was announced on the state government's account on Wednesday.
The screening is taking place at the Lagos Pavilion, Tafawa Balewa Square, and runs from Friday, 6 November, to Sunday, 15 November.
Visitors, exhibitors and traders can get confidential testing, counselling and advice on treatment and care.
The programme also forms part of the Public Service Week health screening, which Head of Service Bode Agoro formally opened.
He urged civil servants to see regular health checks as their own responsibility.
The move comes as Nigeria recorded 102,025 new HIV infections in 2025, according to a federal health report.
Lagos had the highest number, with 10,430 new cases.
LSACA chief executive Dr Folakemi Animashaun said the state is committed to making HIV testing and treatment accessible and free of discrimination.
