Speaking on the policy thrust of the bill, Olanrewaju said that its passage would protect the rights and dignity of people living with HIV/AIDS and eradicate stigmatisation.

Owoeye said that the passage of the bill would encourage people to know their HIV/AIDS status.

The speaker maintained that it was wrong for people living with HIV to be stigmatised and deprived of equal opportunities with other citizens in the state.

He called for regular protection and treatment of those living with the virus by government.
