It is therefore necessary to ameliorate this problem. This paper therefore presents achievements and implications of HIV prevention programme among general population in Plateau State, Nigeria.&#13;
Method: This intervention project was carried out among male and female between the ages of 15-49 years. A total of five civil society organizations were engaged by Plateau State Agency for the Control of AIDS and trained to provide HIV prevention programmes under the HIV/AIDS Fund (HAF) II project. A total of 54,401 individuals were the estimated sample size for this intervention and the minimum prevention package intervention was adopted in the implementation of this project activities. Data collected were analyzed using Microsoft Excel and presented using descriptive statistics such as percentage, simple proportion and frequency.&#13;
Result: A total of 115 community dialogues/advocacies were carried out during this intervention and 5,528 male and 4,813 female influencers participated. A total of 52,417 male and 7,081 female condoms were distributed. A total number of 32,396 males and 28,121 females were counseled, tested and received result. Among these, 147 males and 180 females tested positive. A total number of 1,959 males and 111 females were referred for STI with almost all the referrals (99.4% male and 91.0% female) taking place in 2015. During this project, 16 pregnant women were also referred for antenatal care.&#13;
Conclusion: This intervention successfully scaled-up demand creation for condoms use and HIV counseling and testing through a mix of structural, behavioral and biomedical interventions. More engagement at all levels to ensure community ownership of the HIV response with a view to ensuring sustainability through increased funding should therefore be encouraged.&#13;
