Ehanire mentioned some of the highlights of the guidelines to include: Test and Treat, which implies that everyone that is tested positive for HIV is instantly qualified for treatment; this also includes, pregnant women in the Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission (PMTCT) programme. Also, all those who are at risk of getting HIV infection are to be given antiretroviral drugs as a means of prevention.

However, he stated that President Muhammadu Buhari administration was pledged to the African Union position which sought to lead by standard, stating that the arrival and commitment of US President Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and Global Fund, led to huge investments in HIV/AIDS control measures and a drastic increase in access to life-saving care and treatment.

He further expressed joy that the guidelines were loaded with the basic principles of social justice, equality and equity, strongly in line with the universal declarations of human rights, as well as promoting universal means to HIV/AIDS treatment, prevention and care for all individuals in Nigeria.
